HOUSE OF KOLOR TECHNICAL DATA INFORMATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: This document includes information on UC01 and UFC01. These products are for sale outside the United States only. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN. Our products are for use by trained professional personnel using proper production automotive spray equipment suitable for the paint to be sprayed. Proper spray booth, air system, respirator and basic spray painting ability are required. We do not recommend painting in temperatures below 70F. Although House of Kolor is designed with high film build in mind, we do not recommend any finish that exceeds 15 mils in thickness. This would include the sanded OEM finish and the Kustom Paint finish. NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC. For controlled results, House of Kolor recommends products be used as a "total system." We do not recommend the intermixing of various manufacturer's' products. This is only asking for trouble. No professional or amateur should run the risk of a job failure. Custom painting is complicated enough without gambling on untested product compatibility. Apply only over House of Kolor primers/sealers and/or properly prepared OEM paint. Do not apply House of Kolor products over alkyd or synthetic enamels, uncatalyzed acrylic enamel, primers, sealers or topcoats that may not be coated with lacquer. You must control every step of the preparation including the products used for a successful paint job. Any unknowns such as existing primer, old paint, etc. can become the weak link in the custom painter's chain.

IMPORTANT VOC INFORMATION

The National Rule and SCAQMD Rule 1151 both make distinctions between base coat and mid coat application. The VOC calculations are different depending on which application procedure is chosen. It is important to know whether the system you are using is classified as base coat/clear coat or as a mid coat/multistage system. All Shimrin Base coats may be applied as either a base coat or mid coat. Shimrin Base coats include the following codes: BC, FBC, NE, PBC, PC, SG, MB, KBC, and KF. Kosmic Kolor Urethane Kandys and Solid Color Base coats may also be applied as a base coat or mid coat. Their codes are: UK, UB, and UFB.
BASE COAT APPLICATION

Applying the above products directly over the sealer, Ko-Seal II (KS10, KS11, KS12, KS210, KS211, KS212) will classify the products as basecoats. The VOC limit for base coat/clear coat application would apply. Refer to Ko-Seal II Sealer Recommendation Chart to choose the right sealer color for your application. Example: KD2000 DTM Primer, KS10 Sealer, Shimrin Base coat, Clear coat base coat / clear coat
MID COAT APPLICATION

Applying any Shimrin or Kosmic Kolor coat over BC25, BC26, OR ANY Shimrin Base coat will classify those products as a mid coat. This would apply whether or not a sealer was used. The VOC limit for mid coat/multistage application would apply. Example: KD2000 DTM Primer, KS10 Sealer, BC26, Shimrin Base coat, Clear coat base coat / mid coat / clear coat
VERY IMPORTANT VOC INFORMATION FOR CALIFORNIA USERS

MATERIAL AND USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Custom finishing has unusually high product performance requirements that products designed for normal collision repair do not offer. For a durable, long lasting custom paint job, please refer to the below quick reference guide.

PREPARATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY.
We do not recommend painting in temperatures below 70F.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Poor preparation can cause future topcoat problems. Sand the original finish well. Use our KP2CF, or KD2000 activated Epoxy Primers over bare metal, body work, and for build at deep sanded areas on OEM Finishes.
1. BODY WORK
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Prepare vehicle using special custom painting methods. A. Before any sanding, use KC10 Wax & Grease Remover to remove any tar, wax, or grease. B. Grind away paint and primer in areas requiring body work. C. Always be aware that your hands can transfer body oil, so keep a rag between you and the surface to be primed or painted and avoid touching the vehicle with your bare hand. D. Use power tools to get close when sanding filler. Then block sand. Keep the block front to rear, but crossing to prevent flat spots. E. Always prime with our KP2CF or KD2000 Primers. Allow proper cure time to prevent shrinkage. F. Guide coat your primer so when you block sand, your sand scratches and low spots are revealed. PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS ON PAGE 59 FOR FINAL SANDING PRIMERS.
NOTE: The key to a durable custom finish that will not chip or crack is the foundation. House of Kolor's KP & KD Epoxy Primers have been designed to offer superior adhesion, flexibility, and protection against body filler bleed through that other conventional urethane primers do not offer. KP & KD Epoxy Primers can be used over the original finish but it is not necessary. Ko-Seal II is always recommended when doing custom finishing. They do three things: 1. Improve the adhesion between the substrate and the base coat. 2. Improve color holdout. 3. Make the vehicle one color so fewer coats are required thereby reducing the amount of material needed and reducing the film build. Due to the UV sensitivity of some of the pigments we use and the extreme film build often associated with custom painting only use House of Kolor UC & UFC Clears. These clears were designed for the high film build. They offer a hard, flexible finish with a higher UV resistance than other clears designed for collision repair. If your vehicle has previously been refinished, we recommend removing this to the original finish or to bare metal. Again the key to a durable custom paint job is the foundation. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Please read, understand, and follow this manual before you begin your custom paint job.
2. PRIMERS
Many bases are susceptible to staining or bleeding from plastic fillers, putties, fiberglass resins and some primers. To prevent staining, strip bare (or to OEM primer) and prime with our KP2CF or KD2000 Epoxy Primers. See tech sheets for more information on KP & KD Primers. NOTE: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) coatings work well as a base for your paint job.
3. FOR EXISTING FINISHES
Surface should be free of wax, grease and foreign materials. Use KC10 Wax & Grease Remover prior to any sanding. For post-sanding, use our KC20 to remove any sanding residue for final wash. PLEASE REFER TO THE SANDING RECOMMENDATION CHART ON PAGE 59 FOR FINAL SANDING OF OEM FINISHES. Apply 1-2 coats of Ko-Seal II (sealer). Let dry for 1 hour, but no longer than 2 hours before top coating. NOTE: Do not attempt to apply a custom paint job on an OEM finish that is in excess of 6 mils, as paint failure can result from excessive film build. In other words, if the vehicle has been repainted, it is strongly suggested to either strip it back to the original finish, or better yet, to bare metal. NOTE: In custom work, sealers should always be used as the ground coat. They improve adhesion, color and gloss holdout, and make the vehicle all one color for quicker hiding with the base coats.
KD3000 SERIES KUSTOM DTS FOUNDATION SURFACER/SEALER

GENERAL INFORMATION
The first steps in any project are very important to the overall success. The primer or foundation of your House of Kolor paint project is this first step. Our products are engineered to work as a complete system. The solvent and resin systems in House of Kolor are dramatically different from regular aftermarket automotive finishes. Often described as hotter our products are designed to be used as a system to virtually eliminate shrinkage. House of Kolor is designed to apply numerous coats or layers to achieve a dramatic finish. This is often described as Looks a Mile Deep. It is critical not to intermix other manufacturers products in your paint project. KD3000 is a hybrid epoxy two component primer designed to be used as a DTS or Direct to Substrate High Build High Build Surfacer, Medium Build Surfacer/High Build Sealer, or silky smooth sealer. Available in 6 premixed colors which can be intermixed for a wide range of colors. KD3000 is an industry first and undisputedly the best foundation system available. KD3000 has excellent adhesion, corrosion resistance, productive dry times, and ease of sanding. These DTS surfacer/sealers emit very low amounts of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Polluting Solvents (HAPS), and contain no isocyanates. The KD3000 Series DTS surfacer/ sealers may be applied to the existing OEM finish, bare steel, aluminum, fiberglass, galvanized surfaces, and various plastics. Its tenacious adhesion, hi-build, excellent durability, and water and corrosion resistance and ease of sanding makes it a superior choice for the basis of a long lasting custom paint job. KD3000 Series Kustom DTS Foundation Surfacer/Sealer: Resists cracking Cures as HB Surfacer for contour sanding in under 2 hours at 70F Prevents plastic filler staining or bleed through Cures as Sealer for topcoating in under 30 minutes at 70F Multiple colors greatly improves speed and accuracy of contour sanding when used as a Medium Build Surfacer Lay Flat application properties greatly reduce surface prep and consumption of abrasives Does not stain, shrink, or swell from sand scratches
IMPORTANT NOTES
DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SELF ETCHING PRIMERS, ETC. UNDER THE KD3000 SERIES DTS SURFACER/SEALERS. THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM. IF YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO USE A METAL CONDITIONER TO REMOVE RUST, ETC., BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND NEUTRALIZE THE TREATED AREA FOLLOWING THE CONDITIONER MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS, THEN USING OUR KC20 POST SANDING CLEANER WITH A MAROON SCUFF PAD TO INSURE ALL ACID RESIDUE HAS BEEN REMOVED BEFORE PRIMING. IF NOT, THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM IN CUSTOM PAINTING, IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO EXPERIENCE POLYESTER STAINING FROM BOTH BODY FILLERS, GLAZING PUTTIES, AND FIBERGLASS RESINS . THE KD3000 SERIES DTS SURFACER/SEALER IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THIS STAINING PROBLEM AS LONG AS THE FILLERS/PUTTIES ARE MIXED AND APPLIED PROPERLY, AND THE AFTER SANDING MILLAGE REMAINS AT LEAST 2 MILS.
SUBSTRATE
Properly Prepared: Original finish Ferrous and non-ferrous metals Fiberglass and composites Plastics (Pre-test adhesion and compatibility) Body Fillers Miscellaneous unclassified substrates (Pre-test adhesion and compatibility)
PREPARATION
Surface to be primed should be free of wax, grease, rust, etc. IMPORTANT: Clean with KC10 prior to sanding. Do not apply KD3000 Series DTS surfacer/sealers over uncatalyzed primers. KD3000 Series DTS surfacer/sealers may be applied over properly prepared OEM factory primers and finishes, but for maximum adhesion and corrosion protection it is best to apply KD3000 Series DTS surfacer/sealers directly to the bare substrate.

POT LIFE
As a surfacer 45 to 90 minutes (depending on shop conditions) As a Sealer 1 to 2 hours (depending on shop conditions)
GUN SET UP
HVLP Gun Used as a High Build/Medium Build Surfacer/Sealer = 1.7 to 1.8 tips Used as a High Build/Medium Build Surfacer = 1.7 to 1.8 tips Used as a Sealer = 1.3 to 1.5 Needle/Nozzle (Depending on the size of object being painted) Used as a High Build/Medium Build Surfacer = 100% Trigger Pull Used as a Sealer = 50% to 75% Trigger Pull Not Recommended for Air Brush Application
APPLICATION
Used as a High Build/Medium Build Surfacer Strain mixture. Apply 2 to 3 full wet coats with a 50% pattern overlap. Apply an additional 2 full wet coats over polyester fillers and spot and glazing putties. Allow flash time between coats (flashes dull approx. 10 to 15 minutes). Used as a Sealer Strain mixture. Apply 1 to 2 Medium Wet Coats with a 50% pattern overlap. Allow flash time between coats (flashes dull, approx. 5 to 15 minutes).
DRY TIME
Used as a High Build /Medium Build Surfacer At 70F, allow to cure approx. 90-120 minutes before sanding. If you exceed more than 3 coats, the cure time may be longer. For higher production you can bake the surfacer at 140F for 30 minutes. Allow the surfacer to flash 15 minutes prior to baking with a 30 minute cool down prior to sanding. Overnight dry time is best. Used as a Sealer Sealers are designed to create a chemical bond between the surfacer and the base coat. Allow the sealer to dry 15-30 min. but not to exceed 4 hours prior to top coating. Thoroughly sand sealed surfaces with 500 to 600 wet sand paper if top coating window extends more than 4 hours. Note: Flash and Dry Times will be longer in cool temperatures, slow air movement or when applied in heavier coats.
GUIDE COAT
Used as a High Build /Medium Build Surfacer Multiple color choices of KD3000 series greatly improves speed and accuracy when contour sanding. High and low areas become more visible when using different colors of KD for each coat when used as a High Build or Medium Build surfacer. Prior to sanding, apply a Guide Coat of reduced KD3000 in a contrasting color. During the sanding process, the contrasting color of the guide coat will remain in low areas and become a guide telling you how much sanding is required to smooth the KD3000. Remove the guide coat then continue with a few more sanding strokes and move on. Be careful so you dont expose any body filler. If the primer is less than 2 mils after sanding, bleed through of filler is possible. Reapply KD3000 to cut through areas.
FINISH SANDING
Used as a High Build /Medium Build Surfacer Initial Block Sanding (Optional, see info below) o 100P to 150P grit dry sandpaper Finish Sanding o Dry Sandpaper = 280P to 320P grit (CAMI grade = 240 to 280 grit) o Wet Sandpaper = 400 to 500 grit (FEPA grade 600P to 800P grit) o Tight Areas (door jams, etc.) = Maroon scuff pad

FINISH SANDING (Continued)
Block sand wet or dry. IF BODY FILLER IS EXPOSED, RE-PRIME WITH KD3000 TO PREVENT STAINING. May dry sand KD3000 with 100 or 150 grit, then re-prime with 2 or 3 more coats of KD3000. KD3000 may also be wet sanded. Then simply seal coat with the KD3000 mixed as a sealer and apply topcoats. PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS. NOTE: Do not use alkyd or synthetic sealers or primers with House of Kolor products as lifting may occur. NOTE: To prevent bleeding or discoloration of base coats caused by body fillers, at least 2 mils of primer must remain after sanding. (1 coat equals approximately 1 mil when sprayed with production equipment using 4:1 mixing ratio).
CLEAN UP
Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner, acetone, or urethane reducer (check local regulations).

APPLYING SS01 SILVER SEALER
Strain the sealer after mixing. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 5 to 6 inches. Apply 1 or 2 medium wet coats with 50% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. Be sure of thorough coverage. Allow flash 10 to 15 minutes between coats. NOTE: Mottling may occur in areas where SS01 is applied too heavily. To correct this use a drop coat or mist coat which is applied at a slightly lower pressure and quicker pass over these areas.
DRY TIME
Allow to dry 30 minutes to 1 hour but no longer than 4 hours. After 4 hours we recommend sanding with 500/600 sandpaper and reapply SS01 sealer. Seal coats are applied just prior to spraying color and clear. They are not meant to be a stopping point on your project. All dry times are based on 70 degrees. Dry times will vary with weather and shop conditions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTES
In Custom Painting, Sealers are not an option, they are a must. They have 3 functions: 1) They greatly improve adhesion between the substrate and the base coat. 2) They make the vehicle one color thereby reducing the number of coats of base, saving you money. 3) They greatly improve color hold out and finish quality.

SUBSTRATE
Please be aware that Shimrin / Shimrin2 bases, Kandys and Klears can be susceptible to staining or bleeding from polyester body fillers, putties, fiberglass resins and some primers. To prevent staining, Please refer to the tech pages on KD3000 Series or KP Series Primers. It is important to maintain at least a 2 dry mil film thickness of KD3000 Series DTS Foundation Surfacer Sealer or, KP series over all fillers and putties.
PREPARATION
For all substrates Dry Sanding: FIPA grade = 280P to 320P grit (CAMI grade = 240 to 280 grit) Wet Sanding: FIPA grade = 600P to 800P grit (CAMI grade = 400 to 500 grit) NOTE: Typically sealers do not need to be sanded. Do not seal until you are ready to apply the paint. This is where your chemical bond begins.

GROUND COAT
Sealer SS01 Silver Sealer or KD3000 series mixed and applied as a sealer SHIMRIN2 BASE COATS ARE TRANSLUCENT AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE ONE EVEN COLOR BEFORE APPLICATION OF BASE COAT. We suggest using Sealers as a ground coat. Simply select a KD3000 formula close to the Shimrin2 base coat color you intend to use. This will reduce the number of coats of Shimrin2 base coats required to achieve desired color and effect. For the quickest and easiest approach to selecting ground coat, apply basecoat over KD3000 Color Check panel (part # HOK1052015) and select which formula best matches your desired color and effect. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout.

NOTE: Blending Solvents - never combine fast and slow solvents. In cool weather, combine RU300 with RU310 or RU311. In hot weather, combine RU301 with RU312 or RU313.
GUN SET UP

HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturers recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.2 to 1.5 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Trigger Pull = 50% to 75% Air Brush = Not recommended
APPLICATION
Start with low solid mixture. Apply 1 medium coat with a 75% pattern overlap and allow to flash 10 - 15 minutes then apply 2 more coats at a 75% pattern overlap as medium wet coats. Finish with Medium solid mixture. The final coats should be sprayed at a 50% pattern overlap as medium wet coats. (for a total of 4 to 6 coats) allowing to flash 10 - 20 minutes. Shop conditions, air flow, and reducer used will vary flash times. A good rule of thumb is to monitor the finish, allow each coat to go out of string before applying the next coat. (DO NOT rush your recoat time between coats. You could experience solvent popping.) All Kandy finishes must be klear coated. After 20 to 30 minutes begin applying 2 to 3 coats of UCS01 Urethane Show Klear for maximum UV protection (Always refer to the appropriate tech sheets on the top coat klear you intend using). NOTE: lighter colored basecoats require maximum Kandy coats (6 coats).
KANDY APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
The application of Kandy Type finishes are among the most demanding of all finishes applied. Great attention must be paid in spray gun settings, number of coats and basic spray gun techniques. The following steps, when observed, provide consistent results.
Know the equipment Check spray gun pattern, it must be consistent. (See Diagram One) Turn fluid knob in, to restrict trigger pull and reduce amount of Kandy delivered. This must be done for the first two to three coats to avoid streaking. A 75% pattern overlap is mandatory.
Setting up the Spray Gun
Turn fluid adjustment knob in, to restrict amount of Kandy.
Must deliver even, consistent pattern. (Know pattern width)
Diagram One
Application - The First 2 to 3 Coats
Apply Kandy with recommended pattern overlap. (See Diagram Two) Spray gun should be 4 to 6 inches from surface. Do not apply Kandy panel to panel, spray entire length of object. Spray in straight lines, do not follow body lines. (See Diagram Three)
17

APPLICATION (Continued)
Application - Final Coats
Adjust fluid knob for a larger pattern 5-7 apply additional 2 to 3 coats with 50% overlap. Allow each coat to go out of tack before applying the next coat. Apply 2 to 3 coats of USC01 Urethane Show Klear, or other Kosmic Klears. Allow final coat of Kandy to go out of tack (20 to 30 minutes) then apply 2-3 coats of USC01 Urethane Show Klear or other House of Kolor Kosmic Klears.
DRY TIME
Air dry at 70F = 24 hours Air dry at 70F with AX02 added at 5% of mix = 4 - 6 hours Force dry at 140F = Allow the finish to flash 30 minutes, bake time should be 1 hour with 1 hour cool down. NOTE: Based upon weather conditions, number of coats, solvent speed, and flash time between coats, etc., it is not unusual for the finish to remain soft for extended periods of time. This does not mean the finish is uncured; it indicates the finish is holding solvents and will need additional time to fully harden.

SHIMRIN2 S2-SG100 INTERCOAT

S2-SG100 Intercoat is an important tool for the custom painter. It is designed to be applied over a given base color, prior to taped art work or air brush art. This allows for easy removal of mis-tapes or air brush errors without damage to base color. We recommend KC20 as the only clean up solvent. The intercoat is also applied over art work to preserve blending and fogging of various colors before applying kandy or klear topcoats. S2-SG100 is a safety layer, allowing you to pause and continue your project later. S2-SG100 is not a build up klear or a top coat klear. Limit applied coats to 4, however, if used as a carrier for base coat kandys. Used as a carrier for pearls or flakes when reduction from standard 2:1 goes to 1:1, more coats are acceptable. S2-SG100 is also used to reduce strength of base coats for blending colors or for checking touch ups before top coat klears are applied. Considered a must over Marblizer before kandy or klear to guarantee adhesion. S2-SG100 Intercoat, as you can see, is an important workhorse for the painter! . S2-SG100 is coast to coast VOC compliant, including California. Important note: Do not use S2-SG100 as a top coat klear! Do not exceed 4 coats, only 3-4 coats with sufficient flash between coats is all that is required to fill tape-out lines.
GENERAL INFORMATION

Prior to applying S2-SG100 Intercoat, it is advised to lightly tack surface with a fully open tack cloth, or perform minor cleanup with KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner. Important note: Please be aware that Shimrin / Shimrin2 bases, Kandys and Klears can be susceptible to staining or bleeding from polyester body fillers, putties, fiberglass resins and some primers. To prevent staining, Please refer to the tech pages on KD3000 Series or KP Series Primers. It is important to maintain at least a 2 dry mil film thickness of KD3000 Series DTS Foundation Surfacer Sealer or, KP series over all fillers and putties.

MIXING RATIO
GUN SET UP

HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturers recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.3 to 1.5 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Trigger Pull = 50% to 75% Air Brush = Follow gun manufacturers recommendations
APPLICATION
Apply 1 to 2 medium coats of Shimrin2 S2-SG100 Intercoat with a 50% pattern overlap. Allow each coat to flash dull (Typically 5 to 15 minutes) between coats. Additional coats may be applied if build is required to fill tape-out lines. We suggest you allow the Intercoat to flash 30-60 minutes before doing tape outs, etc over the S2-SG100 product.
FINISH SANDING
Typically, S2-SG100 does not require sanding or scuffing as long as it hasnt sat more than 4 hours prior to top coating. In the event it will have to sit beyond 4 hours such as when performing artwork, it should be sanded. The S2-SG100 can be sanded after 1 hour dry time. Recommended grit is 500 wet or dry. You can also use a gray scuff pad..
19
SHIMRIN2 S2-SG100 INTERCOAT

DRY TIME
Allow to flash from 30 minutes up to a max. 4 hours before top coating. After 4 hours, wet sand with 500 and re-spray S2-SG100.
KLEAR COATING
DO NOT USE S2-SG100 AS A TOPCOAT KLEAR. S2-SG100 must be top coated with USC01 Urethane Show Klear, or any House of Kolor Kosmic Klears.
CLEAN UP
TOUCH UP & BLEND - S2-SG100 Intercoat may also be used to blend Shimrin2 and Shimrin Pearl and Metallic Base Coats. Apply 1 medium coat of S2-SG100 beyond the blend point. Metallics will not darken as they normally would at the blend. S2-SG100 may also be added directly to Shimrin2 and Shimrin Bases for undetectable blends on touch ups. KANDYS - For maximum durability we recommend the new Shimrin2 UKK01 Kandy Karrier with KK Kandy Koncentrates. S2-SG100 Intercoat may be used to make low solid Kandys by mixing any of our Kandy Koncentrates (KK) with S2-SG100. Excellent when multiple Kandy tape outs are required under urethane topcoats. Perfect for small parts or graphics when speed is a factor. Reduce S2-SG100 1:1 with RU series reducer then add Kandy Koncentrate until desired color and strength is achieved. See tech sheet for more information on using Kandy Koncentrates. PEARLS & FLAKE - Although S2-SG100 may be used to make Pearls, we recommend the use of S2-00 Trans Nebulae FX Karrier Basecoat for this application. When using S2-SG100, mix 1:1 with RU series reducer then begin to add dry pearls or Flake until desired concentration is achieved. Do not add too much pearl or flake as clouding, mottling, streaking and bunching from too much pearl can occur. Pearl and Flake platelets must have room to sparkle. Overcrowding reduces their effect and increases the chance of mottling and streaking.

GUN SET UP
HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.3 to 1.5 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Air Brush = Not recommended
APPLICATION
Apply 1 medium coat and allow to flash 10 - 15 minutes then 2 to 3 medium wet coats allowing to flash 10 - 20 minutes. Shop conditions, air flow, and reducer used will very flash times. A good rule of thumb is to monitor the finish, allow each coat to go out of tack (no strings) before applying the next coat. USC01 is very forgiving and will not react with itself when waiting longer between coats. The minimum of out-of-tack to a maximum of 1 hour is recommended between coats for premium appearance and adhesion. NOTE: When applying USC01 directly over UK Kandys, the first coat should be applied medium wet.
DRY TIME
Air dry at 70F = 24 hours Air dry at 70F with AX02 added at 5% of mix = 4 hours Force dry at 140F = Allow the finish to flash 30 minutes, bake time should be 1 hour with 1 hour cool down. NOTE: Based upon weather conditions, number of coats, solvent speed, and flash time between coats, etc., it is not unusual for the Klear to remain soft for extended periods of time. This does not mean the finish is uncured; it indicates the finish is holding solvents and will need additional time to fully harden.
FINISH SANDING
IF NOT FLOW COATING, GO TO STEP FINISHING AND POLISHING After clear coats have been cured overnight (12-24 hours), color sand wet (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR URETHANE CLEARS). Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the water and soak the sandpaper for 15-20 minutes. This prevents sandpaper loading. Sand the entire vehicle flat, leaving no glossy spots. Dry as you go, so soap residue doesnt bite the fresh paint. After sanding, wipe the vehicle with a clean rag and water. Wipe dry. Use a tack rag to remove lint before re-coating. (Chemical washes at this stage are not recommended). Use clean rags and KC20 or warm water. NOTE: Avoid touching the vehicle with your bare hands as the oil from your skin may impair flow coats. CAUTION: DO NOT SAND THROUGH THE CLEAR AND RUIN ALL YOUVE DONE. Look for colored water, this will indicate you sanded through the clear.
RECOAT (FLOW COATING)
RE-MASKING THE VEHICLE AFTER COLOR SANDING WILL GIVE YOU A CLEANER FINISH WHEN FLOW COATS ARE APPLIED. After color sanding, re-clear using 2-4 ounces of extra RU reducer per mixed quart of clear. The additional reducer will give you extra flow out. Begin with a medium coat, allow flash time, and then follow with 1 to 2 wet coats. Allow flash time between coats. NOTE: With this method, polishing is not required unless you desire a show quality finish, or to remove minor dirt particles.
FINISHING AND POLISHING
In a 70F shop, allow 24 hours for dry time before polishing. In a 70F shop, allow 4-6 hours if using AX02. Buffing within 24 hours is recommended when using AX02. See tech sheet for information on Polishing & Finishing

KP2CF CHROMATE FREE KWIKURE EPOXY PRIMER

GENERAL INFORMATION
KP2CF is a hi-solids, activated, Chromate Free Epoxy Sandable Primer. KP2CF primer may be applied to the existing OEM finish, bare steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and galvanized surfaces. Its tenacious adhesion, hi-build, excellent durability, water and corrosion resistance, and ease of sanding make it a logical choice for the basis of a long lasting paint job. KP2CF Epoxy Primer: resists cracking for years and years cures for sanding and finishing in 12-24 hours at 70F. prevents plastic filler staining or bleed through will not stain, shrink, or swell from sand scratches KP2CF Epoxy Primer is the first step to a great long lasting custom finish.
1. SUBSTRATE
OEM finish Body fillers Bare steel Bare aluminum Bare fiberglass Galvanized surfaces
6. GUN SET UP
2. PREPARATION
Read TECH PREP thoroughly before you begin painting. Surface to be primed should be free of wax, grease, rust, etc. Clean with KC10 prior to sanding. Do not apply KP2CF over uncatalyzed primers. KP2CF may be applied over properly prepared OEM factory primers and finishes, but for maximum adhesion and corrosion protection it is best to apply KP2CF directly to the bare substrate. Ko-Seal II may be applied over properly prepared previously painted surfaces. See Ko-Seal II Tech Sheet for application information. NOTE: PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BARE METAL AND OLD FINISH SANDING. NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SELF ETCHING PRIMER, ETC. UNDER THE KP2CF PRIMER. THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM. NOTE: IF YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO USE A METAL CONDITIONER TO REMOVE RUST, ETC., BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND NEUTRALIZE THE TREATED AREA FOLLOWING THE CONDITIONER MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS, USING OUR KC20 POST SANDING CLEANER WITH A MAROON SCUFF PAD TO INSURE ALL ACID RESIDUE HAS BEEN REMOVED BEFORE PRIMING. IF NOT, THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM.
Conventional Gun = 45 to 55 PSI HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.5 to 1.8 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Trigger Pull = Full Air Brush = Not Recommended NOTE: Most gun manufacturers make inexpensive primer guns that can be dedicated for primer surfacer use only.
7. APPLYING KP2CF EPOXY PRIMER
Strain mixed primer into gun. Apply 2-3 wet coats with 50% pattern overlap. Apply 2 extra coats over body work. Allow flash time between coats (flashes dull). KP2CF FLASH TEST - - Allow Primer to dry dull before next coat is applied. Usually 5-10 minutes. NOTE: KP2CF PREVENTS BLEED THROUGH OF STAINS IF MILLAGE IS 2 MILS (AFTER SANDING) OR ABOVE. APPROXIMATE BUILD IS 1 MIL PER COAT WITH 10% REDUCTION USING A PRIMER GUN.
8. GUIDE COAT
Prior to sanding, apply a Guide Coat. During the sanding process, the contrasting color of the guide coat will remain in pits and scratches and become a guide telling you how much sanding is required to smooth the KP2CF. Remove the guide coat and a few more sanding strokes and move on. Be careful so you dont expose any body filler. If the primer is less than 2 mils after sanding, bleed through of filler is possible.

Then simply seal coat with our Ko-Seal II and apply topcoats. PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS. NOTE: Do not use alkyd or synthetic sealers or primers with House of Kolor products as lifting may occur. NOTE: To prevent bleeding or discoloration of base coats caused by body fillers, at least 2 mils of primer must remain after sanding. (1 coat equals approximately 1 mil when sprayed with production equipment using 10% reduction, and a 50% pattern overlap).
1 part KP2CFA (Yellow) 1 part KP2CFB (Blue) Up to 10% RU Reducer (optional) KP2CF Epoxy Primer is a two part system. Aggressively mix KP2CF Part A Primer and KP2CF Part B Activator thoroughly before mixing the two parts together. Add up to 10% RU reducer for improved sprayability and flow out. A 10% reduction will give approximately 1 mil dry film thickness per coat. Always measure, do not guess. Stir mixed components well to ensure a thorough cure, use a paint shaker for best results. No incubation time is needed. Pot life is 3 hours at 70F. Shop conditions can vary pot life.
10. DRY TIME
Allow dry time. We recommend 12-24 hours before sanding and finishing when 3 coats of KP2CF is used at 70F. Longer dry times are needed if more than 3 coats are applied. KP2CF may also be force dried at 140F for 45 minutes for faster sanding. After finish sanding, the vehicle is ready for Ko-Seal II, followed by base coats and topcoats.
11. CLEAN UP
Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner or urethane reducer (check local regulations). NOTE: KP2CF has tenacious adhesion and It is highly recommended the needle and fluid tip be removed and thoroughly cleaned. This will assure the gun will work properly when used the next time.

BC & FBC SHIMRIN METALLIC COLOR BASES

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shimrin Metallic Color Bases (BC & FBC) are universal base coats that may simply be cleared for a final finish, or used as a base coat for Kandys. Due to their unique chemistry make-up, they may be top coated with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Once a system is chosen (acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel) use only products within that system. Intermixing of these two systems, after the base coat, is not recommended. For example: If Shimrin Base is top coated with an acrylic lacquer Kandy, it must also be cleared with an acrylic lacquer clear.

8. APPLYING SHIMRIN BASES
2. PREPARATION
Read TECH PREP thoroughly before you begin painting. Please be aware that Shimrin bases can be susceptible to staining or bleeding from plastic fillers, putties, fiberglass resins and some primers. To prevent staining, Please refer to the tech pages on KP & KD epoxy primers. Sealer (Ko-Seal II) VEHICLE MUST BE ONE EVEN COLOR BEFORE APPLICATION OF BASE COAT. Ko-Seal II Sealers are commonly used and recommended as the ground coat for BC and FBC Metallic Bases. Use Ko-Seal II sealer for faster coverage of base coats. When using sealer, allow flash time. See tech sheet for information on Ko-Seal II application. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout. Ko-Seal II (see tech page on Ko-Seal II) SG100, Cured Top Coat Clears & OEM Finishes (artwork only) Dry Sandpaper = 280P to 320P grit (CAMI grade = 240 to 280 grit) Wet Sandpaper = 400 to 500 grit (FEPA grade 600P to 800P grit) Maroon scuff pad
3. GROUND COAT
After reducing, strain the paint into the paint gun. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches. Apply 2-3 MEDIUM coats with 50% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. Avoid dry spraying, as loss of adhesion is possible. Again, MEDIUM coats work best. Allow flash time between coats. NOTE: DO NOT APPLY HEAVY WET COATS OF BC & FBC BASES AND EXPECT THEM TO FLOW, THIS WILL TYPICALLY RESULT IN WRINKLING AND SPLITTING. They behave very much like lacquer, so apply medium coats only and avoid heavy build. Do not dry spray or lack of adhesion is possible. Apply medium coats, 50% pattern overlap. Flash dull between coats. NOTE: 3 coats of Shimrin BC or FBC Bases equals 1/2 to 3/4 mil, leaving a minimal edge. (Tape pulls away leaving a clean, low edge.) Allow dry time before Kandy or clear is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). Topcoat within 4 hours or apply SG100 Intercoat Clear (see step 10). SHIMRIN FLASH TEST - ALL SHIMRIN BASES WILL DRY DULL AND SHOULD FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats. Shimrin Bases, with their low solids, are an excellent choice for artwork paint jobs. DO NOT TAPE DIRECTLY ONTO THIS SHIMRIN BASECOAT. If artwork is planned, apply 1 or 2 medium coats of SG100 Intercoat Clear (for urethane enamel topcoats) or SC01 Sunscreen Clear (for acrylic lacquer topcoats). The clear coat will protect the Shimrin Base from tape marks and allow cleanup of mistapes. PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FINAL SANDING INTERCOAT CLEAR. See tech sheet for more information on SG100 Intercoat Clear. NOTE: DO NOT SAND SHIMRIN METALLIC BASES DIRECTLY. Apply SG100 Intercoat Clear for base coat protection if sanding is required. If you directly sand the Shimrin metallic, you must re-base. NOTE: SG100 Intercoat Clear is designed to protect the base coats for artwork tape-outs and blends only. DO NOT USE SG100 AS A BUILD-UP OR TOPCOAT CLEAR, AS IT IS NOT WEATHER RESISTANT OR DESIGNED TO EXCEED 4 COATS. CAUTION: Shimrin Base coats do not have any chemical resistance until cleared. Final wash solvents will remove base coats. Use KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner for cleanup.

Use the reducer best suited to your shop temperature. See tech sheet for more information on RU reducers. Note: For Air Brush application reduce 100% (1 part paint to1 part RU311 reducer). When blending, you may slightly over-reduce Shimrin Bases or mix them with SG100 Intercoat Clear for undetectable blends. NOTE: Splitting or cracking is possible when using other companies reducers or by using a reducer that is too slow for your shop conditions.
11. KANDY COAT (optional)
Shimrin BC and FBC Bases may be Candied with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Remember if you Kandy with acrylic lacquer, you must also clear with acrylic lacquer.

For artwork, our Kandy Koncentrates may be mixed with SG100 Intercoat Clear for Kandy graphics. See KK & SG100 tech sheets for more information. ALL SHIMRIN BC AND FBC BASES MUST BE CLEAR-COATED (with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer). Once a system is chosen, after the base coat, stay with that system.

MBC SHIMRIN METAJULS METALLIC BASES

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shimrin MBC Metajuls Metallic Bases are our most brilliant metallic basecoats that feature exceptional sparkle and brightness. Metajuls are available in four unique colors and three flake particle sizes. Pale Gold, Platinum, and Black Diamond are excellent choices for Kandy finishes, while the Prism Effect produces an amazing rainbow effect. When used as a basecoat, MBC01 creates bright dazzling Kandy colors, while MBC03 can create dark rich Kandy colors. MBC02 is a medium color used to slightly darken Kandy colors. All three make Kandys with exceptional sparkle in sunlight. They may also be used for a final finish. Due to their unique chemistry make-up, they may be top coated with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Once a system is chosen (acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel) use only products within that system. Intermixing of these two systems, after the base coat, is not recommended. For example: If Shimrin Base is top coated with an acrylic lacquer Kandy, it must also be cleared with an acrylic lacquer clear. When ordering MBC Metajuls Metallic Bases, please use the following codes to specify the particle size and color: Code Description Code Description MBC01FF Fine Pale Gold MBC01CF Coarse Pale Gold MBC02FF Fine Platinum MBC02CF Coarse Platinum MBC03FF Fine Black Diamond MBC03CF Coarse Black Diamond MBC01 Standard Pale Gold MBC04 MBC02 Standard Platinum MBC03 Standard Black Diamond NOTE: MBC Standard and Coarse particle sizes are not recommended for Air Brush use.

3. GROUND COAT
Sealer (Ko-Seal II) BC, FBC Shimrin base coat MBC's must have a proper Base to achieve their maximum effect. Our Ko-Seal II's work extremely well as a base. A: MBC01 Pale Gold will work over KS12 or KS212 Silver Sealer; however for the perfect base sealer: To 24 oz. of mixed KS12 add 1 oz. of KK14 Spanish Gold Koncentrate, also a mix of BC01 and BC02 will match the MBC01 for an excellent base. B: MBC02 Platinum works over KS12 or KS212 but to closer match the Platinum, add some KS211 or KS11 Black Sealer. For a beautiful darker Kandy apply 3 coats of MBC02 over KS11 or BC25. Try this, apply KS12 or KS212, let dry one hour. Apply 1-2 coats SG100, let dry 30 minutes (or until dry). Then do art tapeouts, tutone or blend over sealer base using 1-2 medium coats of BC25 Black or any contrasting base color. Now apply 3 coats of MBC02 over both base colors. Allow dry time, lightly wipe with a white or grey scuff pad, air and tack. Then apply the Kandy kolor of your choice; way kool! C: MBC03 Black Diamond; simply apply 3 coats over KS11 or KS211 Black Sealer, or BC25 Black will work also. Many other darker base colors also add creativity; try BC10 Pavo Purple as a base under MBC03 and follow with Kandy or simply clear. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout and gloss retention.
Stir Shimrin Base well. Reduce 50% (2 parts paint to 1 part reducer). Mix well and reduce only with RU310 or RU311 reducer, based on booth temperature. IMPORTANT NOTE: No catalyst is used in Shimrin bases. REDUCE ONLY WITH OUR KOSMIC REDUCERS. Use the reducer best suited to your shop temperature. See tech sheet for more information on RU reducers. Note: For Air Brush application reduce 100% (1 part paint to1 part RU311 reducer) When blending, you may slightly over-reduce Shimrin Bases or mix them with SG100 Intercoat Clear for undetectable blends. NOTE: Splitting or cracking is possible when using other companies reducers or by using a reducer that is too slow for your shop conditions.

After reducing, strain the paint into the paint gun. Use a coarse strainer or none at all. Strainers are not used with larger flake. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 4-6 inches, depending on gun used and gun adjustments. Apply 3 MEDIUM coats with 75% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. Avoid dry spraying, as loss of adhesion is possible. Again, MEDIUM coats work best. Allow flash time between coats. SHIMRIN FLASH TEST - ALL SHIMRIN BASES WILL DRY DULL AND SHOULD FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats. NOTE: DO NOT APPLY HEAVY WET COATS OF MBC BASES AND EXPECT THEM TO FLOW. They behave very much like lacquer, so apply medium coats only and avoid heavy build. Do not dry spray or lack of adhesion is possible. Apply medium coats, 75% pattern overlap. Flash dull between coats. NOTE: Splitting and cracking may occur when painting too fast without allowing proper dry time or by spraying on the base too wet and heavy. NOTE: 3 coats of Shimrin MBC Bases equals 1/2 to 3/4 mil, leaving a minimal edge. (Tape pulls away leaving a clean, low edge.) Also true of Shimrins. This is the easiest flake to use ever.

MBC SHIMRIN METAJULS METALLIC BASES (Continued)

Allow dry time before Kandy or clear is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). Topcoat within 4 hours or apply SG100 Intercoat Clear (see step 10). SHIMRIN FLASH TEST - ALL SHIMRIN BASES WILL DRY DULL AND SHOULD FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats. Shimrin Bases, with their low solids, are an excellent choice for artwork paint jobs. DO NOT TAPE DIRECTLY ONTO THIS SHIMRIN BASECOAT. If artwork is planned, allow to dry, lightly wipe with a white or grey scuff pad to knock down standing flakes while blowing with air (Except MBC04 Prism Effect, where flake particles could be damaged). Apply 1 or 2 medium coats of SG100 Intercoat Clear (for urethane enamel topcoats) or SC01 Sunscreen Clear (for acrylic lacquer topcoats). The clear coat will protect the Shimrin Base from tape marks and allow cleanup of mistapes. NOTE: DO NOT SAND SHIMRIN METALLIC BASES DIRECTLY. Apply SG100 Intercoat Clear for base coat protection if sanding is required. If you directly sand the Shimrin metallic, you may put permanent scratches in the flake, a white or grey scuff pad will do no harm if wiped lightly. Wet or dry. NOTE: SG100 Intercoat Clear is designed to protect the base coats for artwork tape-outs and blends only. DO NOT USE SG100 AS A BUILD-UP OR TOPCOAT CLEAR, AS IT IS NOT WEATHER RESISTANT OR DESIGNED TO EXCEED 4 COATS. CAUTION: Shimrin Base coats do not have any chemical resistance until cleared. Final wash solvents will remove base coats. Use KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner for cleanup. As always, avoid touching finish with bare skin which may transfer oil.

NOTES
Shimrin MBC Metajul Bases may be Candied with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Remember if you Kandy with acrylic lacquer, you must also clear with acrylic lacquer. (If you Kandy with urethane enamel, you must also clear with urethane enamel). See appropriate tech sheets for Kandy application. This step produces awesome Kandy jobs. When viewed in the sunlight, the sparkle of these very unique metallics is outstanding. For artwork, our Kandy Koncentrates may be mixed with SG100 Intercoat Clear for Kandy graphics. See KK & SG100 tech sheets for more information.
12. CLEAR COAT
ALL SHIMRIN MBC METAJUL BASES MUST BE CLEAR-COATED (with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer). Once a system is chosen, after the base coat, stay with that system. We recommend that you use House of Kolor clears for best results. See appropriate tech sheets for more information on clear coat application.
Shimrin MBC Metajuls Bases may be intermixed for hundreds of color combinations. MBC Bases may also be mixed with other Shimrins, including the Designer Pearls, Neons, Graphic Kolors, and Kandy Koncentrates. The possibilities are endless. Create your own one-of-a-kind custom finish.

PBC SHIMRIN DESIGNER PEARLS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Shimrin Designer Pearls (PBC) are universal base coats that may simply be cleared for a final finish, or used as a base coat for Kandys or other Pearls. Due to their unique chemistry make-up, they may be top coated with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Once a system is chosen (acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel) use only products within that system. Intermixing of these two systems, after the base coat, is not recommended. For example: If Shimrin Pearl is top coated with an acrylic lacquer Kandy, it must also be cleared with an acrylic lacquer clear.

Shake or stir Neon well. Reduce 50% (2 parts paint to 1 part reducer). Mix well. Some painters add SG100 to the Neons for extra control. Maximum recommended addition of SG100 is 25% by volume. Over-reduction adds control as well. REDUCE ONLY WITH OUR KOSMIC REDUCERS. Use the reducer best suited to your shop temperature. No booth - use the next fastest reducer. See tech sheet for more information on reducers. NOTE: Some painters add small amounts (usually 1 to 2 %) of BC26 to beginning coats to eliminate streaks and blotches. Also, the life of the Neons will improve by tinting the BC26 base with one of our Neons or Shimrin Graphic Kolors (use a color closest to the Neon color - 50% BC26 to 50% Neon). NOTE: Splitting or cracking is possible when using other companies reducers or by using a reducer that is too slow for your shop conditions. NOTE: Neons may be intermixed for additional neon colors.

Use our Kosmic Kolor Shimrin BC26 White, or Ko-Seal II KS10 or KS210 as a base coat for all Neons. This will give the Neons maximum brightness. Apply 2-3 medium coats of BC26 or KS10 or KS210 with 50% pattern overlap. Allow flash time between coats. Maintain thorough coverage. NOTE: An OEM white or jelcoat may also be sanded with 400-500 grit wet and used as a base for Neons. Do individual testing to be sure of compatibility. NOTE: Do not apply over other companies paint products. Lifting or splitting may occur when Neon is applied over other companies bases. Neons need a white base for brightness, but other base colors can be used for special effects. Life of the Neons can be greatly increased by tinting the white base with a Neon or SG Graphic Kolor to make a pastel base close to the Neon topcoat color (try mixing 50% BC26 and 50% Neon).

6. COMPONENTS
Strain the paint into the paint gun. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches or less. Apply 2-4 medium coats with 75% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. Allow flash time between coats. Neons will dry dull, as will all Shimrins. Do not spray with a full trigger pull as this may cause blotching. Leave fan wide. Spray close, helps prevent blotching. NOTE: When using NE502 Pink or NE511 Rose, if color is sprayed on too heavy or applied with too many coats, it can start to turn orange. Bring color on more slowly when using these colors and restrict trigger pull or material sprayed. NOTE: Too much Neon will diminish the base, thus changing the tone and brightness of the Neon. If the base is squelched from too many coats of Neon, add BC26 to the Neon and recoat; then finish with pure reduced Neon. This is particularly prone to happen with NE502 Pink and NE511 Rose, but can occur with other Neons as well. Restrict material control on the gun, not the fan, work within 6-inch gun distance; pattern 5 to 6 inches with 75% pattern overlap. Apply 2 to 3 coats. Pay attention to the color building. NOTE: DO NOT APPLY HEAVY WET COATS OF NE BASES AND EXPECT THEM TO FLOW; THIS WILL TYPICALLY RESULT IN WRINKLING AND SPLITTING. NOTE: 3 coats of Neon equals 1/2 to 3/4 mil, leaving a minimal edge.

FOR URETHANE TOP COATS: After you have achieved your desired artistic effects, allow Marblizer to dry 30 to 60 minutes at 70F, then apply SG100 Intercoat Clear prior to application of the Urethane, or delamination of coatings from the MB is very probable. This step is considered a Must! SG100 Intercoat Clear - Apply 1 or 2 coats of SG100 thinned 50% (2 to 1), if artwork is planned or for adhesion. Allow 15 to 60 minutes dry time for the SG100, and then begin urethane Kandy or clear top coats. See tech sheet for more information on SG100. NOTE: YOU MUST APPLY SG100 OVER THE MARBLIZER FOR URETHANE TOP COATS. Under no circumstances should this step be overlooked as delamination of your urethane from the Marblizer is eminent.
5. SANDING THE SUBSTRATE 6. MIXING
Marblizer (MB) Ready to Spray Marblizer is ready to spray. No mixing required. Stir Marblizer well. Strain into gun. Apply only to an area you will be able to lay Saran Wrap or plastic sheeting onto within minutes and remove to achieve the marble look. Too long a wait and Marblizer will dry and consequently must be reapplied. You only have seconds, so on small items, precut the Saran Wrap or plastic sheeting and do one item at a time.
11. KANDY COAT (Optional)
Marblizers may be Candied with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Remember if you Kandy with acrylic lacquer, you must also clear with acrylic lacquer. (If you Kandy with urethane enamel, you must also clear with urethane enamel). For more information consult Kustom Painting Secrets (book or DVD). See tech sheets for Kandy application.
12. CLEAR COAT
7. MB00 NEUTRAL MARBLIZER
Add any dry pearl, one ounce per quart to MB00 to create many new colors. Kameleon Dry Kolor Change Pearls, as well as Ice Pearls and Mini Flakes, create outstanding marble effects. See our "Art of Marblizing" DVD for more information. NOTE: Do not attempt to mix Shimrin bases into the Marblizer. The will cause the mix to react by turning it into something similar to cottage cheese. Only mix dry products into the Marblizer.
MARBLIZER MUST BE CLEAR-COATED (with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer). Once a system is chosen, after the base coat, stay with that system. Always use House of Kolor clears. See tech sheets for more information on clear coat application.

KBC SHIMRIN KANDY BASECOATS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kandy Base Coats are a mixture of Kandy and select Pearls into a Shimrin Universal Base Coat that mimics a Kandy finish. They feature low build, fewer coats, are easy to apply, and touch ups are easier than ever. Available in the same great 20 colors as our regular Kandys. Due to their unique chemistry make-up, they may be top coated with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Once a system is chosen (acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel) use only products within that system. Intermixing of these two systems, after the base coat, is not recommended.. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KBCS The following KBCs have a tendency to bleed through art work applied over them. Always use our Bleed Check Sealer SBS10 before any artwork is applied. See tech sheet for more information on Bleed Check Sealer. A catalyzed clear coat will NOT stop their tendency to bleed. Multiple applications of clear (2 or more) and careful monitoring of dry times reduces pigment migration into the clear coats. The KBC colors that are considered heavy bleeders are: KBC03, KBC05, KBC06, KBC10, and KBC13. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KBC18 KANDY BASECOAT PINK KBC18 Kandy Basecoat Pink has limited light fastness and should only be used on projects that have limited exposure to sunlight. Use with discretion. KBC18 is recommended for show vehicles only.
1. SUBSTRATE
Ko-Seal II All Shimrin Base Coats Read TECH PREP thoroughly before you begin painting. Please be aware that Shimrin Kandy Basecoats can be susceptible to staining or bleeding from plastic fillers, putties, fiberglass resins and some primers. To prevent staining, please refer to the tech pages on KP2CF or KD2000 Epoxy Primer Surfacers. NOTE: Many KBCs are bleeders. Therefore, you must apply 2 coats of UC01 Clear or UC35 Kosmic Klear and allow to dry for 12 hours OR you must apply 2 coats of UFC35 Flo-Klear or UFC19 Urethane Komply Klear II and allow to dry for 24 hours. Wet sand (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS ON FOR URETHANE CLEARS). Use fast reducer in Shimrin Basecoats, allow dry time between coats.
7. GUN SET UP (continued)
2. PREPARATION
Needle/Nozzle = 1.3 to 1.5 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Air Brush = Follow gun manufacturer's recommendations. After reducing, strain the paint into the paint gun. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 4 to 6 inches. Apply 3 to 4 medium coats with a 75% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. Avoid dry spraying, as loss of adhesion is possible. Again, medium coats work best. Allow flash time between coats Allow dry time before Kandy or clear is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). Topcoat within 4 hours or apply SG100 Intercoat Clear (see step 6). SHIMRIN FLASH TEST - ALL SHIMRIN BASES WILL DRY DULL AND SHOULD FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats. NOTE: DO NOT APPLY HEAVY WET COATS OF KBC BASES AND EXPECT THEM TO FLOW, THIS WILL TYPICALLY RESULT IN WRINKLING AND SPLITTING. They behave very much like lacquer, so apply medium coats only and avoid heavy build. Do not dry spray or lack of adhesion is possible. Apply medium coats, 75% pattern overlap. Flash dull between coats. NOTE: 3 coats of Shimrin KBC Bases equals 1/2 to 3/4 mil, leaving a minimal edge. (Tape pulls away leaving a clean, low edge.)
8. APPLYING SHIMRIN KANDY BASECOATS
3. GROUND COAT
Sealer (Ko-Seal II) VEHICLE MUST BE ONE EVEN COLOR BEFORE APPLICATION OF BASE COAT. Sealers may be used as a ground coat. Check out our Ko-Seal II Sealers, including KS12 Silver Metallic. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout.
9. ARTWORK & CLEARS (optional)
4. BASE COLOR
Use KS10, KS210, KS11, KS211, KS12 or KS212 Sealers, BC25 Black, BC26 White, or any of our prescribed Shimrin bases as shown in our color book as a base color. The color of this base coat will vary the final Kandy color. Lighter bases may show blotching. Follow label instructions. Allow flash time on each coat of color. Dont use a full trigger pull, adjust your gun to a 5 or 6 pattern, 5 to 6 from the gun, and apply using a 75% pattern overlap. Ko-Seal II (see tech page on Ko-Seal II) SG100 = Maroon Scuff Pad
5. SANDING THE SUBSTRATE 6. MIXING
Stir Shimrin Base well. Reduce 50% (2 parts paint to 1 part reducer). Mix well and reduce only with RU310, or RU311 reducer, based on booth temperature. IMPORTANT NOTE: No catalyst is used in Shimrin bases. REDUCE ONLY WITH OUR KOSMIC REDUCERS. Use the reducer best suited to your shop temperature. See tech sheet for more information on RU reducers. Note: For Air Brush application reduce 100% (1 part paint to1 part RU311 Medium / RU312 Slow Reducer). When blending, you may slightly over-reduce Shimrin Bases or mix them with SG100 Intercoat Clear for undetectable blends.
Shimrin Kandy Basecoats are an excellent choice for artwork paint jobs. If artwork is planned: after the last coat of Kandy Base Coat has flashed, apply 2 to 3 medium coats of UC01, UC35, UFC19 or UFC35 Clear (for urethane enamel topcoats) or SC01 Sunscreen Clear (for acrylic lacquer topcoats). The clear coat will protect the Shimrin Base from tape marks and mistapes.. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KBCS The following KBCs have a tendency to bleed through art work applied over them. Always use our Bleed Check Sealer SBS10 before any artwork is applied. See tech sheet for more information on Bleed Check Sealer. A catalyzed clear coat will NOT stop their tendency to bleed. The KBC products are: KBC03, KBC05, KBC06, KBC10, and KBC13. For all other KBCs to prevent bleeding of colors applied over Kandy Base Coats, use one of our catalyzed Kosmic or Komply Klears. Let dry 12 hours if UC01 or UC35 is used OR let dry 24 hours if UFC19 or UFC35 is used. Wet sand (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS ON PAGE 59 FOR URETHANE CLEARS) and then proceed with artwork.
10. CLEAR COAT
ALL SHIMRIN KANDY BASECOATS MUST BE CLEAR COATED (with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer). Once a system is chosen, after the base coat, stay with that system. Always use House of Kolor clears. See tech sheets for more information on clear coat application.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 11. CLEAN UP
Shimrin Kandy Basecoats may be intermixed for hundreds of color combinations. The possibilities are endless. Create your own one-of-a-kind custom finish. Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner or urethane reducer (check local regulations). NOTE: KBC's may be intermixed for many one-of-a-kind combinations.
7. GUN SET UP
Conventional Gun = 45 to 55 PSI HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations)

KF KAMELEON KOLORS
Kameleon Kolor is a revolutionary new base coat that actually changes color depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Kameleon Kolor undergoes broad color changes, for example, from a medium green to a deep purple or from a bright gold to a luminous silver. The Kameleon Kolor base coat can appear to be different colors to people viewing the exact same area of the car from different angles. Rounded, curved surfaces and sharp angles will highlight the uniqueness of Kameleon Kolor. Kameleon Kolor base coats are as easy to apply as our Shimrin Designer Pearl base coats. Application procedures can vary the appearance of the Kameleon Kolor base coats to give novel color effects.. Kameleon Kolor base coats must be top coated with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. SUBSTRATE
KS11, KS211 Black Ko-Seal II BC25 Black Shimrin Base Coat Read TECH PREP thoroughly before you begin painting. Kameleon Kolors are very susceptible to staining or bleeding from plastic fillers, putties, fiberglass resins, and some primers. To prevent staining, strip bare (or to OEM primer) and prime with our KP2CF Chromate Free Kwikure Epoxy Primer or our KD2000 Direct to Metal Epoxy Primer. See tech sheets for more information on KP & KD Primers.
2. PREPARATION
NOTE: 3 coats of KF Kameleon Bases equals 1/2 to 3/4 mil, leaving a minimal edge. (Tape pulls away leaving a clean, low edge.) NOTE: When blending, you may slightly over-reduce Kameleon or mix SG100 for undetectable blends. NOTE: Do not sand Kameleon without re-basing as the scratches on the metallic platelets are permanent. Use SG100 for protection if sanding is required.

KS11, KS211 Black Ko-Seal II BC25 Black Shimrin Base Coat Use BC25 or KS11 or KS211 for a ground coat as shown in the color card. The color of the ground coat will vary the amount of coats it will require to obtain the best results. We do not recommend using a white base coat since many coats will be necessary to achieve coverage. If BC25 cannot be used, use PBC100 or PBC43. Ko-Seal II (see tech page on Ko-Seal II) SG100 = Maroon scuff pad
KAMELEON FLASH TEST - ALL BASES WILL DRY DULL AND SHOULD FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Allow dry time before clear or artwork is applied, usually 15 - 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours.

KAMELEON KOLOR Bases, with their low solids, are an excellent choice for artwork paint jobs. DO NOT TAPE DIRECTLY ONTO THIS BASE. If artwork is planned, apply 1 or 2 medium coats of SG100 Intercoat Clear (for urethane enamel topcoats) or SC01 Sunscreen Clear (for acrylic lacquer topcoats). The clear coat will protect the Kameleon Base from tape marks and allow cleanup of mistapes. Sand wet for improved adhesion (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SG100 and URETHANE CLEAR). See tech sheet for more information on SG100 Intercoat Clear. NOTE: Artwork colors applied over Kameleon Kolor bases can reduce or completely eliminate the color change effect. Always test any planned artwork on a test panel. NOTE: SG100 Intercoat Clear is designed to protect the base coats for artwork tape outs and blends only. DO NOT USE SG100 AS A BUILD-UP OR TOPCOAT CLEAR, AS IT IS NOT WEATHER RESISTANT OR DESIGNED TO EXCEED 4 COATS. CAUTION: Kameleon Kolors can be removed by final wash solvents. Use water or KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner for cleanup.
11. CLEAR COAT
Stir Kameleon Kolor well. Reduce 50% (2 parts paint to 1 part reducer). Mix well. REDUCE ONLY WITH OUR KOSMIC REDUCERS. Use the reducer best suited for your shop temperature. See tech sheet for more information on RU reducers. Kameleon Kolor is encapsulated metallic platelets, which are very easy to apply. NOTE: Over-reducing and/or diluting with SG100 will give a darker, coarser appearance with a more subtle color change compared to normal reduction and application. This effect will diminish and approach normal color effect as more coats are applied. This allows for more novel effects.
ALL KAMELEON KOLORS MUST BE CLEAR COATED (with either urethane enamel or acrylic lacquer). Once a system is chosen, after the base coat, stay with that system. Use only House of Kolor clears for best results. See appropriate tech sheets for more information on clear coat application.

MC00 KOSMIC KROME MIRROR REFLECTIVE EFFECT BASE

The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base represents the application of revolutionary aluminum flake chemistry. Due to the unique nature of these pigments it is very easy to experience inconsistencies in the final appearance. The method of application is more technically challenging than conventional products and the preparation, substrate, and application process must be followed to the letter. The final result can be a beautiful and interesting finish that, when combined with other House of Kolor products, will extend your creative palette for years to come. WARNING: Substrates other than recommended will absorb the MC00 base and it will appear grey and inconsistent. The use of sanding with grits not recommended, as it will result in a different appearance. Any variation of the surface will be magnified and may ruin the project. Rough paper towels or solvent-based cleaners will ruin your project when using MC00. Do not use competitive clears, bases, or primers. Assure that your spray gun is functioning properly. It is critical that application be even. Open the tack cloth completely and air dry for at least an hour to reduce stickiness. A sticky residue transfer will ruin a project. Always do a test panel, with the complete system, to test your application, spray gun function, effect, and your art plans, BEFORE you spray your project. Plan your artwork to apply this product last. This will maximize the metal effect. Do not apply SG100 directly to MC00. When performing artwork over the MC00 first coat MC00 with the appropriate House of Kolor Clear, allow the clear to dry, sand, and continue. The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base is intended for artwork only and may be difficult to apply evenly on larger areas. Do not oversell your customers. The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base, even when applied correctly, will not match the shine, hardness, and reflectivity, of an actual plated surface. PART # MC00 DESCRIPTION MIRROR REFLECTIVE EFFECT
1. SUBSTRATE
In order for Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base to show the maximum effect, the substrate must be a fully dry, very smooth, 2K Urethane surface. House of Kolor Clear coats UC35, UFC35, UFC19, UC01, UFC01, and UCC01 are the only recommended surfaces for this product. The smoothness of the substrate will determine the appearance of the metal effect bases. Any scratch from sanding, wiping, or tacking will show through when MC00 is applied.
7. APPLYING KOSMIC KROME BASE (MC00)
Apply as little Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base as is needed to achieve the desired effect. An example set up would be 1.3 fluid tip open 10-15% with a medium to fast transverse speed. Usually this will be 1-2 thin coats. Over application, including a "wet" type coat, will result in a total loss of effect. The reflective qualities of MC00 will not become visible until flash dry has occurred.
2. GROUND COAT
The actual color of the ground coat is not important; any color can work. The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base is commonly sprayed over black, however, for a "ghosted" metal look try different ground colors. This adds to the creative possibilities. The stability and smoothness of dry 2K Urethane is what is important. Prepare the 2K Urethane as illustrated below.
3. PREPARATION
The Kosmic Krome Effect Bases may be Candied with either acrylic lacquer or urethane enamel. Remember if you Kandy with acrylic lacquer, you must also clear with acrylic lacquer. (If you Kandy with urethane enamel, you must also clear with urethane enamel.) See appropriate tech sheets for Kandy application. For artwork, our Kandy Koncentrates may be mixed with SG100 Intercoat Clear for Kandy graphics. See KK & SG100 tech sheets for more information.
To get the maximum reflective effect, we recommend the MC00 be applied directly to a surface that has been color sanded, polished, and cleaned with KC20 and a soft towel. This procedure is required for the complete visual effect of these products, however; ONLY in this situation do we recommend this process. It is known that this process will diminish the integrity of the system. However, if the effect this product offers with what is required for your art plan, there is no replacement for the visual possibilities of this system.
9. DRY TIME
Allow MC00 to dry for at least 12 hours at 70F before applying House of Kolor Clearcoats. Up to 24 hour is OK; however, be careful to keep the job clean as aggressive tacking, wiping, or handling can ruin the finish by scratching or smudging the MC00.

The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base is provided and ready to spray.
5. MIXING KOSMIC KROME BASE (MC00) 6. GUN SET UP
The Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base should be shaken gently for 5 minutes prior to use. HVLP Gun = 1.2 to 1.4 Fluid tip Gravity Feed Gun = 1.2 to 1.4 Fluid tip Mini Gravity Feed Gun = 0.8 to 1.0 Fluid tip Air Brush = 0.2 to 0.5 Fluid tip Adjust any gun set up to achieve a fine spray, consistent fan, and be sure to spray within the distance that will provide the most even application. This is usually only 6-8 inches for a Full size gun and may be 4-6 inches for a Mini style gun. Always do a test panel, with the complete system, to test your application, spray gun function, effect, and your art plans, BEFORE you spray your project.
When clearcoating the Kosmic Krome Effect Base, special care must be taken to preserve the unique reflective qualities. Only use House of Kolor clearcoats as they are designed for the performance requirements associated with custom painting. Apply UC35, UFC35, UCC01, UC01, UFC01, or UFC19 directly to the Kosmic Krome color. Apply the first coat, with the appropriate catalyst/ reducer combination, with a fine mist. Apply only enough clear to achieve flow in a thin flowing coat. Allow the clear coat to dry 12-24 hours. This is very important, as too wet a coat can cause a loss of effect. After 24 hours, lightly sand and re-clear. Note: The excessive build of true Kandy paint work requires a very stable foundation. With the special process approved for the use of these "metal" finishes comes a compromise in total system performance. The House of Kolor Urethane, or Kandy Koncentrate, Kandy colors will look great when applied over the Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base; however, select the process and product sequence in an order that will minimize the amount of material that is applied over the Kosmic Krome Mirror Reflective Effect Base. Note: Do not apply SG100 directly to MC00. When performing artwork over the MC00, coat MC00 with the appropriate House of Kolor Clear first. Allow the clear to dry, sand, and continue.

UB & UFB KOSMIC KOLOR URETHANE ENAMEL SOLID COLORS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kosmic Kolor Urethane Enamel single stage solid colors may be applied over any of our Shimrin Universal Base Coats and Sealers. Use only Kosmic Reducers for best results. Do not mix other companies products with House of Kolors products, as many have proven to be incompatible. This includes other companies primers, sealers, reducers and clears. IMPORTANT NOTE Use only our Kosmic Reducers. Carefully choose the correct reducer based on your spray booth temperature with fan running. If no spray booth is available, use a faster dry reducer. Kosmic Reducers have very noticeable differences in dry times. For additional flow, add more reducer of the same speed or mix with a slower reducer. See tech sheet for more information on Kosmic Reducers. IMPORTANT NOTE: Kosmic Urethane Enamels used in some VOC restricted areas must be top coated with our UC or UFC Klears to meet current VOC regulation.
1. PREPARATION

UK KOSMIC KOLOR URETHANE ENAMEL KANDYS

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kosmic Kolor Urethane Enamel Kandys may be applied over any of our Shimrin Universal Base Coats. Use only Kosmic Reducers. Do not mix other companies products with House of Kolors products, as many have proven to be incompatible. This includes other companies primers, sealers, base coats, reducers and clears. IMPORTANT NOTE Use only our Kosmic Reducers. Carefully choose the correct reducer based on your spray booth temperature with fan running. If no spray booth is available, use a faster dry reducer. Kosmic Reducers have very noticeable differences in dry times. For additional flow, add more reducer of the same speed or mix with a slower reducer. See tech sheet for more information on Kosmic Reducers. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UK'S The following UKs have a tendency to bleed through artwork applied over them. Always use our Bleed Check Sealer SBS10 before any artwork is applied. See tech sheet for more information on Bleed Check Sealer. A catalyzed clear coat will NOT stop their tendency to bleed. However, if multiple applications of clear (2 or more) and proper flash time between coats is observed, the leaching of color into the clear is reduced. The UK products that have a tendency to bleed are: UK03, UK05, UK06, UK10, and UK13. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UK18 KANDY PINK UK18 Kandy Pink has limited light fastness and should only be used on products that have limited exposure to sunlight. Use with discretion. UK18 is recommended for show vehicles.
1. PREPARATION
Read TECH REP thoroughly before you begin painting. To prevent filler bleed through, apply 3 coats of our KP2CF Chromate Free Kwikure Epoxy Primer or our KD2000 Direct To Metal Epoxy Primer. See tech sheets for more information on KP & KD Primers. Sealer (Ko-Seal II) Shimrin Bases VEHICLE MUST BE ONE EVEN COLOR BEFORE APPLICATION OF BASE COAT. Sealers may be used as a ground coat. Use House of Kolor Ko-Seal II (available in three colors). Use a sealer closest to the base color for faster coverage of base coats. Follow label instructions. Allow flash time on sealer. See tech sheets for more information on Ko-Seal II. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. You may also use any of our Kosmic Kolor Shimrin Bases: Designer Pearls, Graphic Kolors, Neons, Metallics, etc., for the ground coat. The color of the ground coat will vary the final color. This is an excellent place for creativity. Follow labels instructions. Allow flash time on each coat of ground color. See appropriate tech sheets for application instructions.

You may use any of our Shimrin Bases under the Kosmic Kolor urethane enamels. Follow label instructions. Allow flash time on each coat of base color. See individual tech sheets for specific instructions. Ko-Seal II (see tech page on Ko-Seal II) OEM Finishes Dry Sandpaper = 280P to 320P grit (CAMI grade = 240 to 280 grit) Wet Sandpaper = 400 to 500 grit (FEPA grade 600P to 800P grit) Maroon Scuff Pad
Kosmic Kandys may be applied over any of our Shimrin bases or Kosmic Solid Colors. Always spray a test panel before committing to the job. NOTE: KU100, KU150 & KU151 Catalysts are moisture sensitive and will not keep for long periods once opened. When doing small jobs, buy smaller containers to prevent spoilage. Keep container tightly sealed. Strain the paint into the paint gun. Apply 5 to 6 coats to achieve proper color. Start with 3 medium wet coats first, with 75% spray overlap. Finish with 2 to 3 full wet coats with 50% spray pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches. Walk long objects. Allow flash time between coats. URETHANE FLASH TEST - PAINT SHOULD BE STICKY AND NOT STRING WHEN TOUCHED AT THE WETTEST POINT BEFORE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. . NOTE: Too long a dry time between coats may cause lifting. If finish feels dry, allow 12 hours at 70F before re-coating. Scuff with maroon scuff pad to remove gloss or lightly wet sand with 500 or 600 wet. Use caution as too aggressive sanding can cause light and dark spots in the candy. NOTE: Color strength will vary based on base color, number of Kandy coats, type and number of clear coats, and spray technique. LIGHTER BASE COLORS REQUIRE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF KANDY COATS FOR LONGEVITY. A base color tinted near the Kandy color eases application and improves longevity.
9. KANDY APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
5. COMPONENTS
The application of Kandy Type finishes are among the most demanding of all finishes applied. Great attention must be paid in spray gun settings, number of coats and basic spray gun techniques. The following steps, when observed, provide consistent results. Know the equipment Check spray gun pattern, it must be consistent. (See Diagram One) Turn fluid knob in, to restrict trigger pull and reducer amount of Kandy delivered. This must be done for the first two to three coats to avoid streaking. A 75% pattern overlap is mandatory.

NOTES
Adjust fluid knob for a larger pattern 5-7 apply additional 2 to 3 coats with 50% overlap. Allow each coat to stop stringing before applying next coat. Do not allow coats to completely dry to touch between coats. Apply 2 to 3 coats of UC or UFC urethane top coat clear, allowing Kandy only enough time to stop stringing. Do not allow Kandy to completely dry before clearing or wrinkling and lifting is likely to occur. NOTE: Do not use SG100 Intercoat Clear. This is a base coat material. Use our Catalyzed UC or UFC Clear only.
10. DRY TIME
Air dry at 70F = 24 hours Force dry at 140F = 30 minutes flash time, 2 hours bake, with 1 hour cool down. NOTE: Based upon weather conditions, number of coats, solvent speed, etc. It is not unusual for the Kandy job to remain soft for extended periods of time. This does not mean the finish is uncured, it indicates the finish is holding solvents and will need additional time to fully harden.
In a 70F shop, allow 24 hours for dry time before polishing. See tech sheet for information on Polishing & Finishing. After 60 days, the vehicle may be waxed. We recommend using a quality non-abrasive Carnauba wax.

KK INTENSIFIER KANDY KONCENTRATE

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kandy Koncentrates are used to richen any of our Kosmic Kolor Urethane Enamel Kandys or Kustom Kolor Acrylic Lacquer Kandys. Kandy Koncentrates: Get you through the tough stuff fast, saving time and material. Are perfect for motorcycles or small parts when speed is a factor. Are great for touch ups. Tint UK Kandys, base coats, and sealers for additional colors. Example: Add a small amount of KK09 Organic Green Kandy Koncentrate to UK02 Lime Gold Kandy to make a beautiful Lime Green Kandy. Strengthen Kandys for faster coverage on frames, door jambs, under trunk and hood areas, etc. Topcoats can literally be cut in half with Kandy Koncentrates. Not generally recommended for exterior on over all Kandy completes. May be added to SG100 Intercoat Clear (for urethane enamel topcoats) or SC01 Sunscreen Clear (for acrylic lacquer topcoats), for multi-colored Kandy tape outs with minimal build. Drys fast, so many colors may be applied in one day. Have long term shelf life. Use factory packaged Kandys for overall refinishing and for maximum longevity. IMPORTANT NOTE KK Kandy Koncentrates are additives and cannot be applied as packaged. They must be intermixed with either our sealers, bases, UK Kandy's, or clears. For best results we recommend that you use only House of Kolor products when mixing. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KK'S The following KKs have a tendency to bleed through art work applied over them. Always use our USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear before any artwork is applied. See tech sheet for more information on USG100. Follow label instructions. A catalyzed clear coat will NOT stop their tendency to bleed. However, if multiple applications of clear (2 or more) and proper flash time between coats is observed, the leaching of color into the clear is reduced, if not eliminated. Do individual testing. The KK products that have a tendency to bleed are: KK03, KK05, KK06, KK10, and KK13. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KK18 KANDY PINK KK18 Kandy Koncentrate Pink has limited light fastness and should only be used on products that have limited exposure to sunlight. Use with discretion. KK18 is recommended for show vehicles.

To Intensify UK Kandy's: When mixing with Kosmic Kandys, reduce and catalyze, making 1 quart. Then begin adding Kandy Koncentrate in half ounce increments. Usually by viewing the stir stick, the degree of intensity can be determined. Color should appear rich to achieve color density in 3-4 coats. See tech sheet for Kandy and appropriate clear tech sheets for mixing and application instructions. Mixing With SG100 For Artwork: When mixing with SG100 Intercoat Clear, simply reduce and begin adding Kandy Koncentrate in half ounce increments. DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 4 COATS OF SG100. Not recommended for overall paint application and is not designed for hi-build. See tech sheet for mixing and application instructions. NOTE: Generally, a 1 to 1 reduction prior to addition of Kandy Koncentrate is common. Air Brush artists often will mix up to 20% KK Koncentrates to ready to spray SG100.

SG100 INTERCOAT CLEAR

SG100 Intercoat Clear is designed as a protective intermediate clearcoat for artwork tape outs on Shimrin Base Coats. USE ONLY WHEN TOP COATING WITH URETHANE ENAMEL. SG100 Intercoat Clear prevents the tape from marking or pulling the metallic and splitting when top coated, provided only a minimum of medium coats has been applied. Do your art tape outs, spray, and remove tape as soon as possible to reduce tape marks and adhesive tracks. SG100 Intercoat Clear may be used to blend Shimrin Pearl and Metallic Base Coats, to mix Pearl and Kandy Koncentrates, and to cut the Shimrin Base for touchups and blends. IMPORTANT NOTE DO NOT USE SG100 AS A TOPCOAT CLEAR, THIS IS A BASE COAT MATERIAL! SG100 is designed to protect base coats for artwork tape outs and blends only. DO NOT USE SG100 AS A BUILD-UP CLEAR. Do not apply more than 4 medium coats of SG100 as wrinkling and splitting may occur. If over reduced, more coats are acceptable. NOTE: SG100 may be applied over basecoats, over cured catalyzed urethanes for additional tapeouts. However, use fast reducer and allow dry time between coats to prevent lifting.

See tech sheet for more information on reducers. NOTE: Maximum recommended over reduction is 1 part SG100 to 1 part reducer. This ratio is always used when Kandy Koncentrates and pearls are mixed with SG100.
SG100 Intercoat Clear may also be used to make low solid Kandys by mixing any of our Kandy Koncentrates with SG100. Excellent when many Kandy tape outs are required under urethane topcoats. Perfect for small parts or graphics when speed is a factor. This method is actually faster than lacquer. See tech sheet for more information on using Kandy Koncentrates.
9. PEARLS
4. MIXING SG100 INTERCOAT CLEAR
5. GUN SET UP
Although SG100 may be used to make Pearls, It is recommended the use of SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier for this application (please refer to the tech page on SG150 Intercoat Pearl and Flake Karrier). Double the amount of reducer in the SG100 for Pearls. Mix 1 part SG100 to 1 part reducer. When using dry pearl, begin with 1/2 teaspoon lots of dry pearl until desired concentration is achieved per mixed quart. When using pearl paste, begin with 1/4 teaspoon lots of pearl paste until desired concentration is achieved per mixed quart. These mixtures are designed as starting points for light colored bases. Darker bases may require much less pearl, depending on the effect required. NOTE: Do not add too much pearl as clouding, mottling, streaking and bunching from too much pearl can occur. Pearl platelets must have room to sparkle. Overcrowding reduces their effect and increases the chance of mottling and streaking. As with Kandys, use a 75% spray pattern overlap. Do not apply more than 4 coats. See tech sheet for more information on the use of pearl concentrates.
10. DRY TIME
6. APPLYING SG100 INTERCOAT CLEAR
Apply 1 or 2 medium coats of SG100 Intercoat Clear after the last coat of Shimrin base has flashed dull, with 50% spray pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches. Allow flash time between coats and approximately 1 hour before taping (tape time will vary with weather and shop conditions). In many instances SG100 may be taped in less than 30 minutes. Always allow flash time between coats. SG100 FLASH TEST - SG100 WILL DRY TO A SEMI-GLOSS AND FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH. NOTE: DO NOT APPLY MORE THAN 4 COATS OF SG100. It is not designed for hi-build. NOTE: If 4 hours of dry time has elapsed, scuff Intercoat Clear (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SG100) to insure proper adhesion of topcoats. Do artwork with a minimum of tape contact and remove quickly for topcoats. Although we have let hours elapse on many jobs without a problem, common sense tells us that topcoats will merge better if the base is somewhat less than dry.
Allow dry time before Kandy or clear is applied (usually about 15 to 60 minutes and not longer than 4 hours). If 4 hours of dry time has elapsed, scuff Intercoat Clear (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SG100) to insure proper adhesion of topcoats. SG100 FLASH TEST - SG100 WILL DRY TO A SEMI-GLOSS AND FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats. NOTE: If SG100 is being used as the carrier for pearls. Do not sand directly as you will darken the pearls. You will need to apply 1 or 2 coats of properly reduced SG100 before sanding.
11. CLEAR COAT 12. CLEAN UP
DO NOT USE SG100 AS A TOPCOAT CLEAR. SG100 must be top coated with Kosmic Kolor UC01, UFC01, UFC19, UFC35, or UC35. Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner or urethane reducer (check local regulations).
7. TOUCH UP & BLENDS
SG100 Intercoat Clear may also be used to blend Shimrin Pearl and Metallic Base Coats. Apply 1 medium coat of SG100 beyond the blend point. Metallics will not darken as they normally would at the blend.

SG150 INTERCOAT PEARL & FLAKE KARRIER

GENERAL INFORMATION
SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier is a base coat clear material that is designed specifically to be used as the carrier for Pearls, Flakes, as well as other dry products offered in the House of Kolor product line. Due to its unique chemistry, it greatly reduces or eliminates the settling of pearls and flakes after the products are mixed. It also encapsulates the pearls and flake particles, so when sprayed, self orientates, locking them in place, greatly reducing blotching and streaking of the finish. Although the material looks semi-opaque in the can, it dries to water clear finish allowing the brilliance of the pearls & flakes to show through.

USG100 INTERCOAT BARRIER KLEAR

USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear is a two-component acrylic urethane base intercoat clear that was designed to offer protection if a light solvent wipe is required, when applied over House Of Kolor Shimrin basecoats when used for artistic effects. With the application of 2 medium coats, the USG100 will typically cure in 3 to 4 hours (depending upon shop conditions), and is ready for sanding, tape outs, and the application of artwork and pinstripes. In the event there are errors made such as mis-tapes, or striping mishaps, a light solvent wipe using KC10 WAX AND GREASE REMOVER ONLY can be done to remove these mistakes without effecting the base coat or previous artwork under the USG100. The USG100 has demonstrated an ability to prevent bleed through with some of our kandy colors. IMPORTANT NOTES DO NOT USE USG100 AS A BUILDUP OR TOPCOAT CLEAR, THIS IS AN ACTIVATED BASE COAT MATERIAL! USG100 is designed to protect base coats for artwork, pin striping and tape outs only. DO NOT USE USG100 AS A CARRIER FOR PEARLS, FLAKES, OR KANDY KONCENTRATES. DO NOT USE RU REDUCER AS A SOLVENT WIPE. USE ONLY KC10 AS A WIPE DOWN AGENT, FOLLOWED WITH KC20 POST SANDING CLEANER AS A FINAL WIPE TO REMOVE ANY SOLVENT RESIDUE LEFT BY THE KC10. REMEMBER THE KEY WORD IS A LIGHT SOLVENT WIPE DOWN, DO NOT OVER WET THE SURFACE. ON OCCASION, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE IMPRINTING OF THE PIN STRIPE OR GRAPHIC. A LIGHT SCUFFING WITH A SCUFF PAD WILL REMOVE THESE. ALWAYS DO A TEST TO INSURE THE USG100 HAS PROPERLY CURED PRIOR TO DOING A SOLVENT WIPE DOWN WITH KC10 OVER THE ARTWORK.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. SUBSTRATE
All Shimrin Bases Properly cured and prepared topcoat clears and OEM finishes (artwork only) NOTE: USG100 should never be used directly over Marblizers. Only use SG100 first. USG100 can then be used over the SG100.

USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear must be top coated with House Of Kolors Kosmic Kolor UCC01, UC35, UFC35, or UFC19 Clear Coats. Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner or urethane reducer (check local regulations).
6. APPLYING SG100 INTERCOAT CLEAR
Apply 2 medium coats of USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear at a 50% pattern overlap. Gun distance should be 4 to 6 from object being sprayed. Allow 4 to 6 minutes between coats depending on shop conditions. Use the string test, the finish should feel tacky but not stringing to your finger. Do not allow the USG100 to go out of tack between coats as lifting may occur and ruin all your hard work. DO NOT DRY SPRAY USG100, this will cause possible lifting and the loss of integrity of the finish. NOTE: Do not attempt to improve the flow out of USG100 by applying medium wet or full wet coats or applying more than 2 coats. This will greatly slow down the cure time and its ability to be sanded and taped over within the recommended 3 to 4 hour time period. REMEMBER, this is a catalyzed base coat material designed to be used as a barrier protectant of your base coats and artwork, not as a buildup or top coat clear. Flow out and build is not at issue at this stage of your paint job.

8. DRY TIME
Air dry at 70F = 24 hours Force dry at 140F = 30 minutes flash time, 2 hours bake, with 1 hour cool down. NOTE: Based upon weather conditions, number of coats, solvent speed, etc., it is not unusual for the Klear to remain soft for extended periods of time. This does not mean the finish is uncured; it indicates the finish is holding solvents and will need additional time to fully harden.
9. COLOR SANDING
IF NOT FLOW COATING, GO TO STEP 11 POLISHING. After clear coats have cured, (approximately. 24 hrs.), color sand wet (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR URETHANE CLEARS). Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the water and soak the sandpaper for 15-20 minutes. This prevents sandpaper loading. Sand the entire vehicle flat, leaving no glossy spots. Dry as you go; soap residue can bite the fresh paint. After sanding, wipe the vehicle with a clean rag and water. Wipe dry. Use a tack rag to remove lint before re-coating. (Chemical washes at this stage are not recommended). Use clean rags and KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner if contaminated. NOTE: Avoid touching the vehicle with your bare hand as the oil from your skin may impair flow coats. CAUTION: DO NOT SAND THROUGH THE KLEAR AND RUIN ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE. Look for colored water, this will indicate you sanded through the clear.
10. FLOW COATS (optional)
RE-TAPING THE VEHICLE, AFTER COLOR SANDING WILL GIVE YOU A CLEANER FINISH WHEN FLOW COATS ARE APPLIED. After color sanding, re-clear using UFC35 mixed at 2-1-1.5 (30% to 50% additional RU300 reducer to a premixed quart of clear) works best for flow coats. Begin with a medium coat, allow flash time, and then follow with 1-2 wet coats. Keep gun close and wet it out, use a 50% pattern overlap. Allow flash time between coats. For improved hardness the next day, add 1 extra oz. of KU150 or KU151 Exempt Hi Temp Flo-Catalyst per mixed quart of clear.

SC01 KOSMIC KOLOR SUNSCREEN ACRYLIC LACQUER CLEAR

Kosmic Kolor SC01 Sunscreen Clear may be used to topcoat any of our acrylic lacquer finishes or any of our Shimrin Base Coats. SC01 may also be used over the Shimrin Base Coats to protect them from artwork tape outs, when the vehicle is to be top coated with acrylic lacquers. SC01 Sunscreen Clear Kosmic Kolor SC01 Sunscreen Clear was designed to live in the thick paint films common to custom painting. Only the best raw materials are used, with special ingredients to resist sun fade, cold-cracking, gas spills, and bird droppings. SC01 Sunscreen Clear is one of the most chip-resistant acrylic lacquer clears on the market and is also a high-solids lacquer clear. SC01 Clear has proven itself since 1965, both in the upper Midwest (with 40F below zero conditions) and in southern Florida (100F plus temperatures). SC01 features high gloss, even before rubbing, and UV protection. SC01 Sunscreen Clear contains the maximum allowable amounts of UV absorber to protect your paint job from the most damaging rays of the sun. A must for acrylic lacquer finishes. We have seen lacquer Kandy finishes 12 to 14 years old and still looking great when SC01 is used as a topcoat clear. SC01 is excellent for colored pearls, too. CAUTION: Do not use SC01 over whites or very light colors as a slight yellowing is possible due to the ingredients used for UV protection.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. MIXING SC01 SUNSCREEN CLEAR
Thin SC01 Sunscreen Clear 150% (1 part clear to 1-1/2 parts Kustom Thinner). THIN ONLY WITH OUR KUSTOM THINNERS (RU101 or RU202). Use a thinner best suited to your shop temperature. RU101 and RU202 may be intermixed for varying drying times. See tech sheet for more information on thinners. Note: For Air Brush application reduce 200% (1 part paint to 2 part RU101 thinner)
5. FLOW COATS
2. GUN SET UP
Conventional Gun = 35 to 45 PSI HVLP Gun = 8 to 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.3 to 1.4 (Depending on the size of object being painted)
3. APPLYING SC01 SUNSCREEN CLEAR
Apply 5 to 7 wet coats with 50% pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be 6 to 8 inches. Allow flash time between coats (see LACQUER FLASH TEST below). LACQUER FLASH TEST - PAINT SHOULD BE DRY TO THE TOUCH AT THE WETTEST POINT BEFORE THE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. NOTE: Flash time is important for proper solvent release, as entrapment of solvents may result in a rubbery final finish. NOTE: Acrylic Lacquer has a critical re-coat time. Too long a dry time (over 48 hours) on re-coats may cause crazing. To extend the critical dry time an additional 48 hours, apply 1 to 2 additional coats of clear. When thoroughly dry, crazing is still possible if slow-dry thinners are used or if not enough dry time was allowed between coats.
Apply two more coats of clear thinned 200 to 300%. (In hot, humid conditions, add 10 to 20% RU315 retarder to prevent blushing.) -ORPerfectionist method (Reflow) Apply one medium to light coat of clear thinned 200%, using a slow-dry thinner, then apply one wet coat. The medium coat tacks the surface, giving the wet coat that follows something to adhere to. A wet first coat may cause problems. After the wet coat has flashed, thin the clear 200 to 300% and apply 1 wet coat. Check gun pattern as this much thinner usually means narrowing the gun pattern. A spray booth with good air movement is necessary for this method. NOTE: If the shop temperature is below 75F (or if you are not in a spray booth), DO NOT USE SLOW-DRY THINNER. Air movement is critical to remove the thinner during flow coats. Use a fast-dry thinner and allow plenty of time between coats to prevent crazing. (Use retarder only in a spray booth with shop temperatures over 75F).
6. CLEAN UP
Clean equipment thoroughly using lacquer thinner or urethane reducer.
7. POLISHING
Wait 10 to 14 days before polishing. See tech sheet for more information on Polishing & Finishing.
4. COLOR SANDING
IF NOT FLOW COATING, GO TO STEP 6 POLISHING. After clear coats have cured overnight (12 to 24 hours), color sand with 500 or 800P grit wet sandpaper. Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the water and soak the sandpaper for 15 to 20 minutes. This prevents sandpaper loading. Sand the entire vehicle flat, leaving no glossy spots. Dry as you go, so soap residue does not bite the fresh paint. After sanding, wipe the vehicle with a clean rag and KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner. Wipe dry. Use a tack cloth to remove lint before re-coating. (Chemical washes at this stage are not recommended). NOTE: Avoid touching the vehicle with your bare hands, as the oil from your skin may impair flow coats. CAUTION: Do not sand through the clear and ruin all that you have done. NOTE: Re-taping the vehicle after color sanding will give you a cleaner finish when flow coats are applied.

KOSMIC REDUCERS, THINNERS, & HARDENERS

GENERAL INFORMATION
HOUSE OF KOLOR QUALITY SHINES THROUGH Make no mistake, there is a big difference in the quality of ingredients used in reducers and thinners. Some manufacturers, in an effort to cut costs, use inexpensive products and chemicals that have residual or long term release problems (often causing the paint to have a rubbery consistency for many weeks). Also these inexpensive ingredients cause reduced gloss or hazing of the final finish. This is particularly evident when paint is over reduced. With House of Kolor Reducers and Thinners, no dulling occurs even when the paint is over reduced. Our quality shines through. House of Kolor uses only the finest ingredients. Our reducers and thinners leave the paint in stages for proper flow out and they retain the original gloss of the paint. We recommend that you use only our quality reducers and thinners with House of Kolor products. DO NOT USE OTHER COMPANIES HARDENERS, REDUCERS OR THINNERS IN OUR PRODUCTS. REDUCERS Reducers for Kosmic Kolor Urethane Enamel & Shimrin Universal Bases: Kosmic Reducers - RU300 EXEMPT, RU310 FAST DRY, RU311 MEDIUM DRY, RU312 SLOW DRY, RU313 HIGH TEMP - are the only reducers we recommend for use with our Kosmic Kolor Urethane Enamel system. Used in the base, Kandy and clear coats, our reducers allow for: excellent sprayability good flow out and leveling fast staged release retention of gloss when dry NOTE: Even with over reduction, the paint retains its gloss. Other reducers may cause dulling. This is especially true when any amount of over reduction has been attempted to even metallics or increase flow out. Choice of reducer is dependent on three factors: 1. size of object being painted 2. shop temperature and humidity 3. air movement within the spray booth
The following chart is for spray booth application only. When not using a spray booth, use the next fastest reducer.
Our reducers are not cross referenced by any other paint company. RU300 70 - 80F Exempt reducer to meet VOC regulations RU310 65 - 75F Generally used on smaller objects for touch-ups, on larger objects, and with Intercoat Clear to speed dry time. RU311 75 - 85F Most commonly used reducer. Used for small objects in temperatures above 85F or for larger objects in spray booth temperatures of 75 - 85F. RU312 85 - 95F Used for blending bases or Kandys and for larger objects. Also used in warm, humid conditions to increase flow time and leveling. RU313 95 - 110F Used for blending bases or Kandys and for very larger objects. Also used in very warm, humid conditions to increase flow time and leveling. In extremely hot & humid conditions, use RU315 Retarder (up to 10% by volume to slow dry time even more).
NOTE: Use RU315 Retarder to slow dry times or for force drying. NOTE: Use RU315 Retarder Sparingly. This is an additive, not a reducer. NOTE: These reducers may also be intermixed for varying conditions. DO NOT MIX KOSMIC REDUCERS WITH REDUCERS MADE BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS. Regardless of what others say, our reducers are not cross-referenced by any other paint company. THINNERS Thinners for Kustom Kolor Acrylic Lacquers: Kustom Thinners 101 HI-GLOSS and 202 FAST DRY are the finest thinners you can buy at any price. The thinner carries the paint to the surface, then evaporates from the paint film. The way the thinner leaves the film determines the flow, tack free time, consistency, shrinkage, leveling, dry time, tape time and final gloss. Choose the thinner best suited to your shop conditions and the size of the object to be sprayed. Our thinners are not cross referenced by any other paint company. RU101 HI-GLOSS SLOW DRY Shop Temperature Above 75F For large objects or in extreme hot or humid conditions. With slow dry thinner, proper air movement is necessary to pull the thinner from the paint. RU202 FAST DRY FAST DRY Shop Temperature Below 75F For small objects or cool shop conditions.
NOTE: Use RU315 Retarder to slow dry times or for force drying. NOTE: These thinners may also be intermixed for varying conditions. DO NOT MIX KUSTOM THINNERS WITH THINNERS MADE BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS.
MIXING
Always measure when mixing. There is little room for guess work in custom painting. For mixing ratios of reducers and thinners, refer to the individual product instructions.
KOSMIC KOLOR BASES, KANDYS & CLEAR COATS: Follow label instructions on reduction amounts. For increased flow out, add additional reducer. House of Kolor paint products are thicker in the can than others and the additional reducer gives you more coverage per quart and also increases flow out. Usually 3 ounces per mixed quart is adequate. SHIMRIN UNIVERSAL BASES: Extra reducer should not be used in the Shimrin Universal Bases. When Shimrin's are used with a complete lacquer paint job, they may be thinned with lacquer thinner (in place of Kosmic Reducer). INTERCOAT CLEAR: Reducers in Intercoat Clear should be as fast as can comfortably be used. This will lesson dry time and allow artwork tape outs as soon as possible (usually within the hour, depending upon shop and weather conditions).

HARDENERS House of Kolor's Hardeners are specifically designed to be used in our urethane kandys, klears, and sealers. They're designed with the specific hydroxyl groups needed for proper cross-linking with our resins used in the manufacturing of our products. NEVER USE OTHER MANUFACTURERS' HARDENERS WITH HOUSE OF KOLOR PRODUCTS. THEY ARE NOT FORMULATED TO WORK WITH THE EXOTIC RESINS WE USE TO PRODUCE THE HIGH QUALITY KUSTOM FINISHES THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR THE EXTREME PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS OF KUSTOM FINISHING. KU100 Catalyst was designed for areas where VOC compliance is not an issue. It is a faster curing activator. KU150 Exempt Catalyst was designed to meet all VOC regulations. This is a medium curing activator. KU151 Exempt Hi-Temp Flo-Catalyst was designed to meet all VOC regulations. It is an excellent activator where high humidity and temperatures are present and also greatly improves flow out of our clears. This is an excellent choice where larger objects are being finished, as well as being used in the final flow coating of clears. This is a slower curing version of our KU150. NOTE: With the exception of your sealer, never use a slower curing hardener in a finish or underneath a finish using a faster curing hardener. Example: Using KU151 in the kandy and then KU100 in the clear. This could cause solvent to become trapped in the overall finish.

KE170 KRATOR ELIMINATOR

GENERAL INFORMATION
At last a fisheye additive that does not need to be used in every coat. Use KE170 to correct fisheye or crater defects. Works with lacquer, urethane, polyurethane, acrylic urethane, acrylic enamel, etc. A must have product for your paint shop. NOTE: Do individual testing with other companys paint products. CAUTION: May not correct major silicone contamination. In that case, use a silicone oil - which will be required throughout the job.
1. USING KRATOR ELIMINATOR (KE170)
Add 1/2 - 2 capfuls of KE170 Krator Eliminator per mixed quart. Use only when necessary. Once the problem is corrected you do not need to continue using KE170. NOTE: KE170 is a very unique product that works in ALL coatings to reduce fisheyes.
NOTES

AX01 ACCELERATOR
GENERAL INFORMATION
Accelerator AX01 is a potent curing aid. Use Accelerator to speed dry time in cool shops on parts that must be handled (or sanded for artwork layouts) or re-coated the same day. Accelerator was designed for catalyzed acrylic urethanes and specific polyurethanes to speed up cure time. Accelerator can be added to any of the following Kosmic Kolor products: UC01, UC35, UFC01, UFC19, UFC35, and UMC35 Klears; UB and UFB Solid Colors; SBS10 Bleed Check Sealer, and UK Kandys.
1. MIXING ACCELERATOR (AX01)
Use sparingly, up to 1/8 teaspoon per mixed quart. DO NOT EXCEED 1/8 TEASPOON PER MIXED QUART. Carefully monitor dry time between coats. Accelerator will cause the urethanes to flash between coats much faster and can cause lifting if allowed too much time between coats. Use the touch test: URETHANE FLASH TEST - PAINT SHOULD BE STICKY AND NOT STRING UP ON FINGER AT THE WETTEST POINT, BEFORE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. Approximate time between coats is 5 minutes, depending upon your shop conditions.
NOTES
Use Accelerator only in the following Kosmic Kolor products: UC01 Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Klear UC35 Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Klear UCC01 Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Kustom Klear UFC01 Kosmic Urethane Flo-Klear UFC19 Urethane Komply Klear II UFC35 Kosmic Urethane Flo-Klear UMC35 Kos-Matte Klear UB and UFB Solid Colors UK Kandys SBS10 Bleed Check Sealer NOTE: Do not use Accelerator in acrylic lacquers, or base coats. NOTE: Use AX01 sparingly. It can reduce the coating's flexibility and deplete the UV absorber.

FA01 FLATTENING AGENT

GENERAL INFORMATION
Flattening Agent is designed to reduce the gloss of our acrylic lacquer, acrylic urethane and polyurethane enamel topcoats and clears. Flattening Agent will not effect adhesion or hardness. It is great for under carriages, frames and engine parts where high gloss is not desired, but a tough, durable finish is.
1. MIXING FLATTENING AGENT (FA01)
Shake or stir FA01 to ensure a uniform blend. Add while stirring to your premeasured reducer then add this to your topcoat or clear. A drill and a paint stirring attachment ensure a uniform blend. NOTE: Each product will react differently to FA01 based on the solid content of product used. Add additional reducer for proper sprayability. Amount of reducer is based on amount of FA01 added.
NOTES
2. APPLYING FLATTENING AGENT (FA01)
Strain the paint into your paint gun. Use normal application methods based on the product you are spraying. Gloss reduction will begin as the paint dries. Dry overnight to show the true final level of gloss flattening. NOTE: We recommend painting a test panel and allowing it to dry for 12 hours to determine the true final gloss flattening.

IMPORTANT NOTE Bleeding from underneath is the most common problem when painting with pearls. Follow instructions carefully and protect yourself against failure. Good preparation is important for a quality, long lasting paint job.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. PREPARATION
4. MIXING PEARLS CONCENTRATES (continued)
Read TECH PREP thoroughly before you begin painting. Pearls are very susceptible to staining or bleeding from plastic fillers, putties, fiberglass resins and some primers. To prevent staining, please refer to the tech pages on KP2CF or KD2000 Epoxy Primer Surfacers.
2. GROUND COAT
Sealer Base Coat Properly prepared OEM finishes UNIFORM COVERAGE OF SEALER IS REQUIRED BEFORE APPLICATION OF BASE COAT. Use House of Kolor Ko-Seal II. Use a sealer closest to the base color for faster coverage of base coats. Follow label instructions. Allow flash time on sealer. See tech sheet for more information on Ko-Seal II. NOTE: Sealers will not prevent bleeding. Remember, sealer is not a cure all for poor preparation.
NOTE: When applying pearl over a dark base, do not add too much pearl concentrate as mottling or streaking can occur quite easily. Apply more coats instead of mixing the pearl too strong. NOTE: Urethane enamel may take slightly more pearl than acrylic lacquer due to its high solids. ALWAYS OVER REDUCE WHEN USING PEARL CONCENTRATES. See appropriate tech sheets for clear mixing instructions.

Strain the paint into the paint gun. Apply 2-6 medium (almost wet) coats with 75% pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be 5-6 inches. Walk long objects. Allow flash time between coats. Be sure that your spray equipment and environment are very clean and the spray pattern correct. An uneven spray gun pattern will make proper application impossible. Apply enough coats to achieve the effect you desire. Then begin Kandy or clear coats. NOTE: When using SG100 and SG150, never apply more than 4 coats. Mix the pearls rich enough to complete the application in 3 or 4 coats.
7. KANDY (optional) 8. CLEAR COAT CAUTIONS

Ko-Seal II BC25 or dark shared finishes Use KS11, KS211 or BC25 as a ground coat for the most dramatic color change effect. The color of the ground coat will vary the amount of coats it will require to obtain the best results. White or light color basecoats will require many coats to achieve coverage. If BC25 cannot be used, use PBC100 or PBC43. NOTE: On large surfaces use BC03 or FBC03 as a basecoat for more even coverage of Kameleon Pearls. Add Kameleon Pearls to mixed clear (ready to spray) and apply over the base coat. Kameleon Pearls may be added to any of our Kustom or Kosmic Klears including SG100 Intercoat Clear. Use SG100 over Shimrin Universal Bases or Ko-Seal II only. ADD 12 TEASPOONS OF KAMELEON PEARL PER MIXED PINT OF CLEAR. NOTE: When applying pearl over a dark base, do not add too much pearl as mottling or streaking can occur. Kameleon Pearls may be intermixed to create custom colors. They can also be added to our Kameleon Basecoats for novel color effects. For novel color effects, Kameleon Pearls may also be mixed into MB00 Neutral Marblizer. ALWAYS REDUCE KAMELEON PEARL MIXES:

IP ICE PEARL
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ice Pearl glass flake pigments go beyond traditional pearls in brightness of color, transparency, and reflectivity. They have brightness and sparkle under sunlight conditions. Ice Pearl may be used in any of our Shimrin Universal bases, Kandys, Klears, Marblizers or Kustom Bases. They are an excellent base for Kandy finishes, giving a brilliant glitter effect. Blends of Ice Pearl pigments give true multicolor effect, showing the individual colors of the pearl used in the blend. Ice Pearl gives the custom painter additional creativity to design one of a kind custom finishes.
1. MIXING ICE PEARL
Add Ice Pearl to mixed clear (ready to spray) and apply over the base coat. Ice Pearl may be added to any of our or Kosmic Clears, including SG100 Intercoat Clear or SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier for best results. Use SG100 or SG150 over Shimrin Universal Bases only. The color of your base will determine how much pearl you use. The following chart is a guide for proper mixing:
NOTES
ICE PEARL AMOUNTS - PER MIXED QUART OF CLEAR ICE PEARL FOR DARK BASE 2 teaspoons FOR LIGHT BASE 3 - 4 teaspoons
The size of the object being painted will dictate the amount of pearl also. Larger objects require less pearl than smaller objects. On large objects, start low and add additional pearl slowly. Too much pearl will reduce the pearl effect due to overcrowding of the pearl platelets. NOTE: When applying pearl over a dark base, do not add too much pearl, as mottling or streaking can occur. NOTE: Urethane enamel may take slightly more pearl than acrylic lacquer due to its high solids.
2. GUN SET UP
Conventional Gun = 45 to 55 PSI HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.3 to 1.5 (Depending on the size of object being painted)
3. APPLYING ICE PEARL
Strain the paint or clear into the gun, then add the Ice Pearl. Air pressure varies, use Gun Mfgs. recommendations. Apply 2-3 medium (almost wet) coats with 75% pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be 6 inches or less to reduce roughness. Walk long objects. Allow flash time between coats. Be sure that your spray equipment and environment are very clean and the spray pattern correct. An uneven spray gun pattern will make proper application impossible. Apply enough coats to achieve the effect you desire. Then begin Kandy or clear coats. NOTE: When using SG100 or SG150, never apply more than 4 coats. Mix the pearls rich enough to complete the application in 3 or 4 coats. NOTE: Check effect of Ice Pearl color in direct sunlight to see their maximum impact.

KLG KOSMIC LONG-GLO PHOSPHORESCENT GLOW-IN-THE-DARK POWDER

GENERAL INFORMATION
Depending on use and sun exposure, light fastness on some colors will be limited. The glow effect continues even if the color fades. The Kosmic Long-Glo has demonstrated better light fastness than the Kosmic-Glo when applied over a white base. We recommend using Kosmic Long-Glo with discretion - even though the color may change with time and exposure, the Glow-in-the-Dark feature remains for a long time. Kosmic Long-Glo is provided in 4 oz. jars of dry powder. (Bulk prices available on request.) IMPORTANT NOTE - KOSMIC LONG-GLO IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR OVERALL REFINISHING.
1. SUBSTRATE
Ko-Seal II KS10 or KS210 BC26 Maximum glow occurs when Kosmic Long-Glo is applied over a white base. We recommend using our Shimrin BC26 White as a base or Ko-Seal II KS10 or KS210. Other colors/bases (such as Pearls, Kandys, Neons, Solid Kolors, etc.) may be used for unusual effects, but glow time will be less. Add 4 to 6 oz. of Kosmic Long-Glo dry powder to 1 pint of ready to spray SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier. Mix thoroughly. Mix only when ready to use. Stir between coats as setting occurs quickly. Spray immediately after mixing as this product may not store well when mixed. NOTE: An agitator cup can help keep product mixed during spraying. NOTE: Use a gun with a 1.5 fluid tip to prevent the gun from plugging or miss-spraying. Always empty a gravity feed gun between coats due to rapid settling. Re-stir and add to gun for the next coat. For Urethane Finishes: Our SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier works well for mixing the Kosmic Long-Glo pigment. Topcoat with our UC01 Kosmic Klear, UC35 Kosmic Klear, UFC01 Kosmic Urethane Flo-Klear, UFC19 Komply Klear or UFC35 Kosmic Urethane Flo-Klear.

F, MF, UMF FLAKES

GENERAL INFORMATION
Flakes may be added to any of our Kandys or Clears. We offer flakes in five grain sizes: 1/64 inch Flake (the most difficult to use) Mini Flake (comes on fast with greatly reduced surface roughness) Ultra-Mini Flake (3 sizes, easy to apply and smooths out with topcoats) Built from ultra thin polyester, our flakes are the lightest and easiest to use. The mini and ultra-mini flakes have the brilliance of a much larger flake, combining the ultimate in a flake look and ease of use. Check out our MBC Basecoats. These basecoats offer outstanding brilliance, producing a medium Flake look without the extra work associated with flake.
1. MIXING FLAKES AND GUN SET UP
For maximum reflectivity and ease of use, we recommend adding Flakes directly to the clear and spraying over the base coat. Flakes may be added to any of our Kustom or Kosmic Clears, including SG100 Intercoat Clear and SG150 Intercoat Flake & Pearl Karrier. For best results we recommend the use of SG150 Intercoat Flake & Pearl Karrier (see tech sheet on SG150) Use SG100 and SG150 over Shimrin Universal Bases only. The color of your base coat will determine how much flake to use. The following chart is a guide for proper mixing. If a full flake look is desired, be sure your base color is similar to the flake color, preferably 4-5 shades darker than the flake, to create the illusion of coverage in 2 coats. 3 or more coats of flake will greatly increase the roughness of the finish. Always do a test panel first to gauge the coverage, color and roughness before committing to the paint job. You may find youll need to add additional flake to achieve the proper coverage. (Always measure for consistency of mix)

NOTE: With a gravity feed gun, remove flakes between coats, simply stir and add for next coat or purchase an agitator gun cup. NOTE: Flake should not be applied with an Air Brush. NOTE: On large objects, use a reducer (or thinner) on the slow side to allow the flakes to flow into the clear, for better leveling and reduced roughness. NOTE: When mixing straight clear to be sprayed over flake to bury it, use a faster reducer. Dont use SG100 as a build clear. NOTE: Flakes may also be added (in small amounts) to any of our Shimrin Bases, Kustom Bases, and to first coats of Kustom and Kosmic Kandys. A great place for creativity. (Do not add Flakes to UB04, UB05, BC25 or BC26 as these high pigmented bases will diminish the flakes.) NOTE: Mixing ratios listed for flakes are for ready-to-spray material, per quart.

2. APPLYING FLAKES
WHEN USING LARGE FLAKES - BE SURE YOUR SPRAY GUN HAS A LARGE ENOUGH FLUID TIP TO ALLOW PASSAGE OF THE FLAKE. Strain the paint into the paint gun, then add the Flake. Air pressure varies gun to gun, but lower pressure works best to reduce overspray. Apply 1- 2 medium coats with 75% pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be 4-5 inches. If Flake is sprayed too far away from the vehicle, dryness can occur which can be difficult to smooth out. Walk long objects. Allow 15 to 30 minutes flash time between coats. NOTE: TRY NOT TO APPLY MORE THAN 2 COATS. Succeeding coats add greatly to increased surface roughness and will require more clear and sanding to smooth out.
6. POLISHING
Allow a Flake job to dry down before polishing, usually 30 days minimum for lacquer and 48 hours for urethane (in temperatures of 70-80F). As the paint dries, it shrinks down around the Flakes and if you polish too soon you may wind up polishing again after the dry down. In winter months, it may take 60-90 days or more for dry down. If possible, let the paint bake in the sun for a good cure before polishing. Urethanes cure chemically at 70F. Color sand wet; if rough, start with 500 grit. Finish color sanding with 1200 to 2000 grit. See tech sheet on Polishing & Finishing for more information. CAUTIONS Read Cautions and Warnings on all product can labels. Wear eye protection and approved respirator based on the type of paint the Flake is mixed into. The polyester flakes offer no hazard in dry form, but when sprayed may enter eyes, nose, throat or lungs if proper protection is not worn.
Once you are satisfied with the flake application, allow flash time. Using a white scuff pad, lightly scuff over the flake to lay down or knock off any standing flake, then topcoat with 3 - 4 coats of Urethane Clear. Let dry overnight and D.A. sand with 320P grit sandpaper the next day. Be careful of high points and edges, as it is easy to sand through and ruin all you have done. Air and tack. Then begin Kandy coats. Follow label instructions. See appropriate tech sheets for Kandy application. NOTE: When using 1/64 inch Silver Flake (only) you may simply dry sand with 220P grit sandpaper and a washing motion to knock down standing flakes; then begin topcoats. Do not use this method with colored flakes as the color is easily sanded off. Silver is the true flake color.
4. CLEAR COAT
FOR ACRYLIC LACQUER PAINT JOBS: Allow flash time before top coating with clear. Apply 5-7* coats of SC01 Sunscreen Clear. See tech sheet for clear coat application. NOTE: The normal critical dry time of 48 hours is not a problem with Flakes. You may re-coat at any time with no fear of line checking or crows feet. *NOTE: Flake size, Kandy coat, application expertise, thinner, etc. will determine the number of clear coats required. Sand between every 5-7 coats. FOR URETHANE ENAMEL FINISHES: Allow flash time before top coating with clear. Paint should be sticky and not string when touched at the wettest point before next coat is applied. (When using the touch test always touch a new spot). Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats. Apply 2-4* coats of our UC01 or UC35 Clear. See tech sheet for clear coat application. Do not use SG100 or SG150 as a topcoat clear. *NOTE: Flake size, Kandy coat, application expertise, thinner, etc. will determine the number of clear coats required.
5. COLOR SANDING & REFLOW
FOR 1/64 INCH SILVER FLAKE AND RAINBOW FLAKE: Use D.A. Sander with 320P grit dry sandpaper to begin smoothing the paint job. Hold D.A. at eye level and spin pad. It should not wobble, but spin true. Avoid high points, edges or any area where you might sand through. NOTE: D.A. color sanding requires practice and a true sandpaper pad. Air and tack. Re-clear. Wet sand with 400 or 500 grit sandpaper for final clear coats. NOTE: Flake jobs often require more than one reclearing to achieve full coverage and flatness of the flake prior to polishing. FOR MINI FLAKE AND ULTRA-MINI FLAKE: Color sand and finish with normal methods. See tech sheet on Polishing & Finishing for instructions.

U KOSMIC KOLOR URETHANE STRIPING & LETTERING ENAMEL

GENERAL INFORMATION
Our Striping & Lettering Enamel is designed for striping, lettering and airbrush artwork. It features high pigmentation, low solids for a minimal edge and long open time. Apply over existing finishes or topcoat with clear for a smooth, durable finish. Our Striping & Lettering Enamel may be top coated with acrylic lacquer, urethane enamel, acrylic enamel and alkyd enamel.
1. PREPARATION
Remove all traces of wax, silicone, grease, dirt, etc. If finish is oxidized or dull, polish before striping is begun. If overall clear coats are required, color sand with 500 or 600 grit wet sandpaper. See tech sheet for color sanding instructions.
2. MIXING & APPLYING STRIPING & LETTERING ENAMELS
FOR ARTWORK ON SHIMRIN METALLIC OR PEARL BASE COATS: Apply 1 or 2 coats of SG100 Intercoat Clear (for urethane enamel topcoats) or SC01 Sunscreen Clear (for Acrylic Lacquer topcoats) before artwork is applied. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STRIPE DIRECTLY ONTO THE SHIMRIN METALLIC OR PEARL BASE COAT.
5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION (continued)
Stir the color to be used. Deposit 1 or 2 brush loads of paint onto the palette. Use U00 Reducer to maintain proper consistency. Simply add a small amount to a shot glass, dip your brush into the reducer and add to the mixture on your palette. Brush back and forth a few times, then begin your artwork. As the paint is used, add more to your palette by the brush full. CAUTION: Do final wipe down with KC20 or water only. Wash solvents will remove the artwork. Mistakes over catalyzed Urethane are easily removed with a rag dampened with acetone. Clean your brush with U00 Reducer or lacquer thinner. Many artists will simply fluff the brush with low air pressure after cleaning with reducer prior to storage. Allow artwork to dry 1 to 4 hours (depending on shop conditions) before applying clear coats.
6. REMOVING MISTAPES
Urethane Enamel Finishes: Wipe with U00, RU310 Reducer, or acetone using hard pressure and a clean spot on the rag. Carefully check the area to be sure no residual paint film remains. CAUTION: Base coats will be removed with reducers unless they have been cleared with a topcoat clear. Base coats do not have any chemical resistance until cleared. Final wash solvents and reducers will remove base coats. Use care not to wipe away your artwork. On extensive art jobs, we recommend applying 2 coats of urethane clear (before applying the artwork). The following day, color sand with 500 grit wet, then pinstripe or airbrush the artwork. This allows mistakes to be easily removed with acetone. Acrylic Lacquer Finishes: Remove mistakes with a final wash solvent. Some reducers may work also. Test in an inconspicuous spot before using. Use firm pressure and make sure no residual paint film remains.
3. STRIPING CLEAR UC03
UC03 is a clear Striping & Lettering Urethane that can be added to the striping colors to reduce tint strength. UC03, when catalyzed, can be used to topcoat by brush the Neons or other colors to add gloss and chemical resistance. UC03 Clear Catalyzed Mixing Ratio: 4 parts UC03 Clear to 1 part KU200 Striping Catalyst. Some reducer may be added (RU310 or RU311) to reduce viscosity. CAUTION: TOO WET A FIRST COAT OF CLEAR OR NOT ENOUGH DRY TIME BETWEEN COATS MAY MOVE THE ART - USE CARE AND DO NOT RUSH! Monitor your coats closely for maximum merging of coats. General rule, use fast reducer in clear coats and allow flash time.
7. CLEARING OVER FINAL ARTWORK
Urethane Enamel Finishes: When clearing over artwork, adjust the gun and bring the clear on slowly to prevent sliding of artwork. NOTE: Applying the clear too wet may cause the artwork to slide or run. Allow flash time between coats, use fast reducer. Acrylic Lacquer Finishes: When applying clear coats over artwork or striping, begin with medium coats, to prevent sliding of artwork. Allow flash time between coats.
4. APPLYING GOLD LEAF
Gold Leafing: U05 Imitation Gold (striping enamel) makes an excellent sizing for applying gold or variegated gold leaf. Mix 4 parts U05 striping enamel with 1 part KU200 catalyst. Apply U05 with brush, let set until sticky (20-30 minutes), apply gold leaf and allow to dry overnight. Brush away excess outline and clear with catalyzed UC03 Clear, or topcoat clear the complete part with any of our Kosmic Klears.
Provide adequate ventilation when mixing and airbrushing. Avoid breathing fumes and skin contact with KU200 Striping Catalyst.
5. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WHEN STRIPING OVER FINAL FINISHES: Mix Striping & Lettering Enamel with KU200 Striping Catalyst. Follow label instructions. The catalyst adds gloss and chemical resistance so clear coats are not necessary. Mixing Ratio - Striping Colors: 8 parts paint to 1 part KU200 Catalyst. Mixing Ratio - UC03 Clear: 4 parts UC03 Clear to 1 part KU200 Catalyst. NOTE: Use only KU200 Striping Catalyst with our Urethane Striping & Lettering Enamels. NOTE: KU200 Striping Catalyst is moisture sensitive and will not keep for long periods once open. Keep container tightly sealed. Clean the catalyst container pour spout by wiping the threads with reducer for easy opening. WHEN TOP COATING ARTWORK WITH CLEAR: No catalyst is required. Striping & Lettering Enamel will dry in 1-4 hours for clear coats. NOTE: When using Striping & Lettering Enamel for artwork or murals, it is a good idea to use the KU200 Catalyst for faster dry times and no tape marks. FOR AIRBRUSH ARTWORK: For airbrushing with Striping & Lettering Enamel, reduce 100-150% with RU311 Medium Reducer for good sprayability and rapid dry times. In warmer weather, use RU312. Strain through a fine strainer.

HH HI-HEAT BLACK
GENERAL INFORMATION
Hi-Heat Black is a superior, high temperature coating. It is a great coating for engine parts or exhaust systems on cars, trucks, motorcycles, small engines, etc., where high temperature is a concern. It features fast coverage and cures to a beautiful semi-gloss jet black finish that will endure 1400F with no flaking or discoloration. Hi-Heat Black comes ready to spray and no reduction is required. Parts are dry enough to handle in one hour. No baking is required.
1. PREPARATION
For new steel surfaces make sure metal is bare and clean with no traces of water, oil, wax, or surface rust. Wiping parts with a quality, mid temperature lacquer thinner (such as House of Kolor RU202 Lacquer Thinner) works well as a final wash. Allow to dry, then start application. If possible, warm the parts with a heat lamp. This will speed up the process.
NOTES
2. SUBSTRATE
Bare Steel
For previously coated or rusted surfaces, sand or bead blasting is the only method of preparation recommended. After blasting, prepare surface the same as described above for new steel surfaces. NOTE: Sand or bead blasting is the ideal surface preparation for all surfaces including new steel surfaces. Apply Hi-Heat Finish as soon as possible after cleaning for maximum adhesion.
4. COMPONENTS
Ready To Spray Ready To Spray
5. MIXING HI-HEAT 6. GUN SET UP

Conventional Gun = 45 to 55 PSI HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.3 to 1.5 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Trigger Pull = 25% to 50% Air Brush = Not Recommended
7. APPLYING HI-HEAT BLACK (HH04)
Hi-Heat Black is ready to spray as packaged. Do not add any extra reducer. Warm parts with an infrared heat lamp. Remove heat lamp from booth, then apply one medium wet coat. Allow 10-20 minutes dry time or until paint has flashed dull then apply one more medium wet coat. Apply just enough paint to achieve coverage, but never more than two medium coats of HH04. Many motorcyclists also coat the exhaust pipes inside to minimize bluing on chrome pipes. WARNING: Proper film thickness is critical for good heat resistance properties. Dry film thickness should not exceed 0.6 mils. Excessive film thickness will cause coating failure such as blistering and flaking. More is not better.
8. DRY TIME
Parts are ready to handle in one hour. Allow parts to cure for 24 hours after last coat is applied to ensure that solvent is no longer present in the coating. Final cure will be accomplished by the inherent heat of operation. This will cause the parts to emit smoke and odor upon first use. This is a chemical reaction that final cures the paint. After this, the parts will be a beautiful semigloss black finish.
9. CLEAN UP
Clean equipment thoroughly with thinner (check local regulations).

POLISHING & FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS

1. COLOR SANDING
Color Sanding for Flow Coats: After clear coats have cured overnight (12-24 hours), color sand with 500 grit wet sandpaper. Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the water and soak the sandpaper for 15-20 minutes. This prevents sandpaper loading. Sand the entire vehicle flat, leaving no glossy spots. Dry as you go, so soap residue does not bite the fresh paint. After sanding, wipe the vehicle with a clean rag and water. Wipe dry. Use a tack rag to remove lint before re-coating. (Chemicals washes at this stage are not recommended). NOTE: Avoid touching the vehicle with your bare hand, as the oil from your skin may impair flow coats. Final wipe use warm water, if contaminated wash with KC20. NOTE: When using a tack cloth, open the cloth and let stand for 15-20 minutes to eliminate resin transfer, then form the cloth into a ball and use in that manner. CAUTION: Do not sand through the clear and ruin all you have done. Color Sanding for Polishing: Begin color sanding with wet 1200P grit sandpaper. Block large areas. Avoid color sanding areas that are difficult to polish by machine without risk of burning or tearing the finish. Add a small amount of Ivory liquid detergent to ease sandpaper loading. Dry as you go. You may continue with 1500P 2000P grit etc. Many quality polishing products exist for this work. Use proven polishing pads and rubbing/polishing compounds, and a polisher not to exceed 1750 rpm free running speed.

Flow coats (or reflow) is the perfectionist method for finishing a topcoat clear. With this method, polishing is not required unless you desire a show quality finish, or to remove minor dirt particles. This method reduces time required to color sand and polish. Urethane Enamel Reflow Method: After color sanding, re-clear using 6-10 oz. of extra reducer per mixed quart using UC01 Klear, UC35 Klear, UFC01 Flo-Klear, UFC19 Komply Klear or UFC35 Flo-Klear (needs less extra reducer). The additional reducer will give you extra flow out. Begin with a medium coat, allow flash time, and then follow with 1 or 2 wet coats. Allow flash time between coats. (For improved hardness the next day, add an additional 1-1.5 oz. of the specified catalyst to this mixture). Acrylic Lacquer Reflow Method: After color sanding, apply 1 medium to light coat of SC01 Sunscreen Clear thinned 200%, using a slow dry thinner. Then apply 1 wet coat. The medium/light coat tacks the surface, giving the wet coat that follows something to adhere to. A wet first coat may cause problems. After the wet coat has flashed, thin the clear 300-400% and apply 1 wet coat. Check gun pattern, as this much thinner usually means narrowing the gun pattern. A spray booth with good air movement is necessary for this method. NOTE: If the shop temperature is below 75F (or if you are not in a spray booth), DO NOT USE SLOW DRY THINNER. Air movement is critical to remove the thinner during flow coats. Use a fast dry thinner and allow plenty of time between coats to prevent crazing. (Use retarder only in a spray booth with shop temperatures over 75F).
3. POLISHING
Polishing may be done after 1 to 3 days for urethane enamel finishes and 10 to 14 days for acrylic lacquer finishes. Dry times will vary with weather and shop conditions. For great results use 3M* Superbuff III Wool Pad #05703 with Extra Cut Compound #05936. Clean surface with a 50/50 mix of distilled water and alcohol and repolish any spots you may have missed. Change pad to 3M* foam pad #05725 with Machine Glaze #05937 and buff at 1500 to 1750 rpm. For the ultimate show finish, color sand with 1200 to 2000 grit sandpaper. Then polish, using a 1500 to 1750 rpm polisher and compounds of your choice. After 60 days, the vehicle may be waxed. We recommend using a quality non-abrasive Carnauba wax.

TECH TIPS
APPLICATION TECHNIQUES Spray Pattern Overlap
Custom painting requires a good understanding of the basics. It demands attention to detail and a working knowledge of sound application techniques. The following is a brief description of both a 50% and 75% spray pattern overlap.
50% Overlap
Measure spray gun pattern width, do not guess. Adjust spray gun for pattern consistency. Restrict amount of fluid being delivered when using 75% overlap to avoid runs and sags. 75% overlap generally used for Pearls and the first 2 to 3 coats of Kandys.
75% Overlap
URETHANES / POLYURETHANES Flash Between Coats

The times allowed between coats of Urethanes and Polyurethanes are critical for the success of a custom paint job. Actual times vary depending on temperature, air flow and humidity. One of the safest ways to determine when a finish is ready for the next coat is by the string method. This method is as follows: Find area on masking tape closest to wettest point of sprayed finish. Press finger into finish and lift up approximately one inch. Look for fine hair-like strings pulling up with finger. Continue this process using a different spot each time until finish stops stringing. Once finish still feels sticky, but does not string, it is ready for next coat. Do not allow House of Kolor Urethanes or Polyurethanes to completely dry to touch. If finish completely dries to touch, finish must not be recoated for 12 hours or lifting may occur.

TECH TIPS
SANDPAPER GRADING SYSTEMS
When choosing a sandpaper, it is important to remember that sandpapers produce a significantly different scratch pattern based on the different grading systems. CAMI (Coated Abrasives Manufacturer's Institute) graded sandpaper has long been the standard system of measurement in the automotive refinish industry in America. It is known as having a wider variety of grit FEPA graded sandpaper is new from the Federation of European Producers of Abrasives. It is regarded as having a tighter measurement system, with closer tolerances for particle size. The result, as shown in the chart, is that the scratch patterns of FEPA and CAMI differ significantly the higher you go.
CAMI GRADE

To identify the grade sand paper you are working with; FEPA grade will have a P either proceeding or following the grit size. CAMI grade will not have the letter P on the sand paper. Examples: FEPA Grade CAMI Grade 400P or P400 400 (No P proceeding or following the grit size)

(APPENDIX "A") Rule 1151 & Rules 4602 & 4612 Phase II
GENERAL INFORMATION
KD2000 Direct to Metal Epoxy Primer was formulated with a hybrid of epoxy and acrylic polymers, which provide excellent adhesion, good corrosion resistance, productive dry times, and ease of sanding. These primers emit very low amounts of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Polluting Solvents (HAPS), and contain no isocyanides. KD2000 may be applied to the existing OEM finish, bare steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and galvanized surfaces. Its tenacious adhesion, hi-build, excellent durability, and water and corrosion resistance make it a logical choice for the basis of a long lasting paint job. KD2000 Epoxy Primer: Resists cracking for years and years Cures for sanding and finishing in 3 hours at 77 degrees Prevents plastic filler staining or bleed through Will not stain, shrink, or swell from sand scratches KD2000 Direct to Metal Epoxy Primer is the first step to a great long lasting custom finish.
IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND)

DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SELF-ETCHING PRIMER, ETC. UNDER THE KD2000 PRIMER. THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM. KD2000 PREVENTS BLEED THROUGH OF STAINS BY POLYESTER FILLERS AND GLAZES IF MILLAGE AT LEAST 2 MILS AFTER SANDING. APPROXIMATE BUILD IS 1 MIL PER COAT WITH 10% REDUCTION USING A PRIMER GUN. KD2000 IS A HIGH BUILD SANDABLE EPOXY PRIMER AND IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO APPLY POLYESTER BODY FILLER OR GLAZEING PUTTY OVER THIS PRIMER. YOU MUST APPLY 2 MORE COATS OF KD2000 OVER THE GLAZING PUTTY PRIOR TO TOP COATING. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS TECH MANUAL, PLEASE CALL OUR TECH SUPPORT LINE AT (800) 844-4130.
SUBSTRATE

OEM finish Body Fillers Bare Steel Bare aluminum Bare fiberglass Galvanized surfaces
Read TECH PREP thoroughly before you begin painting. Prepare vehicle using normal methods for urethane finishing. Surface to be primed should be free of wax, grease, rust, etc. Clean with KCA100 prior to sanding. Do not apply KD2000 over uncatalyzed primers. KD2000 may be applied over properly prepared OEM factory primers and finishes, but for maximum adhesion and corrosion protection it is best to apply KD2000 directly to the bare substrate. Ko-Seal II may be applied over properly prepared previously painted surfaces. See Ko-Seal II Tech Sheet for application information. NOTE: PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BARE METAL AND OLD FINISH SANDING. NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASE PRODUCTS SUCH AS SELF-ETCHING PRIMER, ETC. UNDER THE KD2000 PRIMER. THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM. NOTE: IF YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO USE A METAL CONDITIONER TO REMOVE RUST, ETC., BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND NUTRALIZE THE TREATED AREA FOLLOWING THE CONDITIONER MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS, THEN USING OUR KC20 POST SANDING CLEANER WITH A MAROON SCUFF PAD TO INSURE ALL ACID RESIDUE HAS BEEN REMOVED BEFORE PRIMING. IF NOT, THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE AN ADHESION PROBLEM.
PREPARATION

COMPONENTS
KD2000 (Primer) KDA2000 (Activator) RU300 Exempt Reducer
MIXING RATIO
KD2000 Epoxy Primer: 4 parts KDA2000 Activator: 1 part RU300 Exempt Reducer: Up to 10% (optional) Aggressively mix KD2000 Primer thoroughly before mixing the two parts together. Add up to 10% RU300 Exempt Reducer for improved sprayability and flow out. A 10% reduction will give approximately 1 mil dry film thickness per coat. Always measure, do not guess. Stir mixed components well to ensure a thorough cure, use a paint shaker for best results. No incubation time is needed. Pot life: 2-3 hours at 70F. Shop conditions can vary pot life.
85
GUN SET UP
HVLP Gun = 10 PSI at the cap (Refer to spray gun manufacturer's recommendations) Needle/Nozzle = 1.5 to 1.8 (Depending on the size of object being painted) Trigger Pull = Full
APPLICATION
Strain mixed primer into gun. Apply 2-3 wet coats with 50% pattern overlap. Apply 2 extra coats over bodywork. Allow flash time between coats (flashes dull). KD2000 FLASH TEST - - Allow Primer to dry dull before next coat is applied. Usually 5-10 minutes. NOTE: KD2000 PREVENTS BLEED THROUGH OF STAINS IF MILLAGE IS 2 MILS AFTER SANDING OR ABOVE. APPROXIMATE BUILD IS 1 MIL PER COAT WITH 10% REDUCTION USING A PRIMER GUN
DRY TIME
Allow dry time. We recommend 3-6 hours before sanding and finishing when 3 coats of KD2000 is used at 70F. Longer dry times are needed if more than 3 coats are applied. KD2000 may also be force dried at 140F for 45 minutes for faster sanding. After finish sanding, the vehicle is now ready for Ko-Seal II, followed by base coats and topcoats. Air Dry: 3-6 hours Force Dry: 40 minutes @ 140 degrees
FINISH SANDING
Prior to sanding, apply A Guide Coat. During the sanding process, the contrasting color of the guide coat will remain in pits and scratches and become a guide telling you how much sanding is required to smooth the KD2000. Remove the guide coat and a few more sanding strokes and move on. Be careful so you dont expose any polyester filler or glaze. If the primer is less than 2 mils after sanding, bleed through of the polyester filler/glaze is possible. Initial Block Sanding (Optional, see info below) o 100P to 150P grit dry sandpaper Finish Sanding o Dry Sandpaper = 280P to 320P grit (CAMI grand = 240 to 280 grit) o Wet Sandpaper = 400 to 500 grit (FEPA grade 600P to 800P grit) o Tight Areas (door jams, etc.) = Maroon scuff pad Block sand wet or dry. IF POLYESTER FILLER/GLAZE IS EXPOSED, RE-PRIME WITH KD2000 TO PREVENT STAINING. You may dry sand KD2000 with 100 or 150 grit, then re-prime with 2 or 3 more coats of KD2000. KD2000 may also be wet sanded. Then simply seal coat with our Ko-Seal II and apply topcoats. PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL. NOTE: Do not use alkyd or synthetic sealers or primers with House of Kolor products as lifting may occur. NOTE: To prevent bleeding or discoloration of base coats caused by body fillers, at least 2 mils of primer must remain after sanding. (1 coat equals approximately 1 mil when sprayed with production equipment using 10% reduction).
TOPCOATING CLEAN UP
Topcoat with Ko-SealII. (See Tech Sheet on Ko-Seal II) Clean equipment thoroughly with lacquer thinner or urethane reducer (check local regulations).

KO-SEALII ACRYLIC URETHANE PRIMER SEALER
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ko-Seal II is a two component acrylic urethane primer sealer. Sealers are a must in custom finishing and a step that should never be overlooked. Ko-Seal II does 3 important things: Act as a bond coat between the substrate and topcoats. Act as a holdout agent to prevent topcoats from soaking into the substrate and reducing gloss. Make the object to be painted an appropriate color for faster coverage of topcoats. Can be applied over properly prepared and sanded previously painted OEM surfaces, KD-Series House of Kolor Primers for proper adhesion of topcoats.
KO-SEAL II CANNOT BE APPLIED OVER BARE METAL SURFACES OF ANY KIND. KO-SEAL II MUST BE APPLIED OVER SANDED AND CLEAN KD2000 EPOXY PRIMER OR PROPERLY PREPARED AND SANDED PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES FOR PROPER ADHESION. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOPCOAT KO-SEAL II EARLIER THAN 1 HOUR AS WRINKLING AND LIFTING CAN OCCUR. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOPCOAT KO-SEAL II AFTER 2 HOURS AS DELAMINATION OF THE FINISH IS POSSIBLE. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS TECH MANUAL, PLEASE CALL OUR TECH SUPPORT LINE AT (800) 844-4130. OEM finish KD Epoxy Primers

BC & FBC SHIMRIN METALLIC BASES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Shimrin Metallic Color Bases (BC & FBC) are universal base coats that may simply be cleared for a final finish, or used as a base coat for Kandys. BC Metallics are a course, highly brilliant, and very clean metallic colors not matched in the industry. The FBC Metallics are a finer version of the BCs and produces the old school look, especially under Kandys.

WITH THE ADDITION OF KV1 KOSMIC KONVERTOR TO HOUSE OF KOLORS SHIMRIN BASE COATS (SEE TECH SHEET ON KV1 KOSMIC KONVERTOR), YOU ARE CHANGING THE BASE MATERIAL FROM A NON-CATALYZED PRODUCT TO A CATALYZED BASE COAT, THEREBY INCREASING THE SOLIDS CONTENT AND LOWERING THE VOCS. SOME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN PULLING YOUR MASKING TAPE AS TEARING OF THE FINISH IS POSSIBLE. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS TECH MANUAL, PLEASE CALL OUR TECH SUPPORT LINE AT (800) 844-4130.

GROUND COAT
Sealer (Ko-Seal II) VEHICLE MUST BE ONE EVEN COLOR BEFORE APPLICATION OF BASE COAT. Ko-Seal II Sealers are commonly used and recommended as the ground coat for BC and FBC Metallic Bases. Use Ko-Seal II sealer for faster coverage of base coats. When using sealer, allow flash time. See tech sheet for information on Ko-Seal II application. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout.

GROUND COAT
Sealer (Ko-Seal II) BC, FBC Shimrin base coat MBC's must have a proper Base to achieve their maximum effect. Our Ko-Seal II's work extremely well as a base. A: MBC01 Pale Gold will work over KS212 Silver Sealer; however for the perfect base sealer: To 24 oz. of mixed KS212 add 1 oz. of KK14 Spanish Gold Intensifier, also a mix of BC01 and BC02 will match the MBC01 for an excellent base. B: MBC02 Platinum works over KS212 but to closer match the Platinum, add some KS211 Black Sealer. For a beautiful darker Kandy apply 3-4 coats of MBC02 over KS211 or BC25. Try this, apply KS212, let dry one hour. Apply 1-2 coats USG100, let dry 3 to 4 . Then do art tapeouts, twotone or blend over sealer base using 1-2 medium coats of BC25 Black or any contrasting base color. Now apply 3-4 coats of MBC02 over both base colors. Allow dry time, lightly wipe with a white or grey scuff pad, air and tack. Then apply the Kandy kolor of your choice; way kool! C: MBC03 Black Diamond; simply apply 3 coats over KS211 Black Sealer, or BC25 Black will work also. Many other darker base colors also add creativity; try BC10 Pavo Purple as a base under MBC03 and follow with Kandy or simply clear. D: MBC04 Prism Effect: Apply 3-4 coats over KS212 or BC02. For a darker look, apply over KS211, or BC25. For special effects, try over any of our Shimrin bases or try adding a little KK Koncentrates (5% or less). NOTE: ALWAYS do a test panel prior to committing to the paint job. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout and gloss retention.

SOME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN PULLING YOUR MASKING TAPE AS TEARING OF THE FINISH IS POSSIBLE. USE WITH DISCRETION! Neons have limited colorfastness in the sun. Neons are not recommended for overall refinishing or where long life is a requirement. Neons are designed for high visual impact on racecars, boats, cycles, etc., where colorfastness is not the priority, but eye-grabbing brightness is. FOR EXTENDED LIFE, COVER OR SHIELD THE NEONS FROM THE SUN WHENEVER POSSIBLE. AVOID CONSTANT DAY TO DAY SUN EXPOSURE. NEONS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED ON VEHICLES YOU INTEND TO DRIVE DAILY.

NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding Use our SHIMRIN BC26 White Base Coat or, Ko-Seal II KS210 as a base coat for all Neons. This will give the Neons maximum brightness. Apply 2-3 medium coats of BC26 or KS210 with 50% pattern overlap. Allow flash time between coats. Maintain thorough coverage. NOTE: An OEM white or jelcoat may also be sanded with 400-500 grit wet and used as a base for Neons. Do individual testing to be sure of compatibility. NOTE: Do not apply over other companies paint products. Lifting or splitting may occur when Neon is applied over other companies bases. Neons need a white base for brightness, but other base colors can be used for special effects. NOTE: Life of the Neons can be greatly increased by tinting the white base with a Neon or SG Graphic Kolor to make a pastel base close to the Neon topcoat color (try mixing 50% BC26 and 50% Neon). Do individual testing as some brilliance may be lost.

NOTE: Some painters add small amounts (usually 1 to 2%) of BC26 to beginning coats to eliminate streaks and blotches. Also, the life of the Neons will improve by tinting the BC26 base with one of our Neons or SHIMRIN Graphic Kolors (use a color closest to the Neon color - 50% BC26 to 50% Neon). NOTE: Neons may be intermixed for additional neon colors. Do individual testing.
NE SHIMRIN NEONS
GUN SET UP
APPLICATION
Strain the paint into the paint gun. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches or less. Apply 3-4 medium coats with 75% pattern overlap. Walk long objects. Allow flash time between coats. Do not spray with a full trigger pull as this may cause blotching. Leave fan wide. Spray close, helps prevent blotching. NOTE: When using NE502 Pink or NE511 Rose, if color is sprayed on too heavy or applied with too many coats, it can start to turn orange. Bring color on more slowly when using these colors and restrict trigger pull. NOTE: Too much Neon will diminish the base, thus changing the tone and brightness of the Neon. If the base is squelched from too many coats of Neon, add BC26 to the Neon and recoat; then finish with pure mixed Neon. This is particularly prone to happen with NE502 Pink and NE511 Rose, but can occur with other Neons as well. Restrict material control on the gun, not the fan, work within 6-inch gun distance; pattern 5 to 6 inches with 75% pattern overlap. Apply 3 to 4 coats. Pay attention to the color building. NOTE: 3 coats of Neon equals to 1 mil. Use caution when pulling your tape as tarring the finish is possible.
DRY TIME
Allow dry time before clear is applied (usually about 60 minutes and not longer than 2 hours). Topcoat within 2 hours or apply USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear. FLASH TEST - AT 5 TO 7 MINUTES YOU WILL FEEL THE FINISH TO BE TACKY BUT NOT TRANSFERRING TO YOUR FINGER. DO TEST AT THE TAPE EDGE AS FINGER PRINTING IS POSSIBLE. AT 1 HOUR THE FINISH WILL FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats DO NOT TAPE DIRECTLY ONTO THIS SHIMRIN BASECOAT. If artwork is planned, apply 1 or 2 medium coats of USG100 Intercoat Barrier Clear. The clear coat will protect the Shimrin Base from tape marks and allow cleanup of mistapes.

SG SHIMRIN GRAPHIC KOLORS BC25 & BC26 SHIMRIN SOLID COLORS
Shimrin SG Graphic Kolors and Shimrin BC25 and BC26 Solid Colors are universal base coats that may simply be cleared for a final finish, or used as a base coat for KBC Base Coat Kandys or Pearls.
GENERAL INFORMATION

SUBSTRATE
PREPARATION
GROUND COAT
Sealer (Ko-Seal II) VEHICLE MUST BE ONE EVEN COLOR BEFORE APPLICATION OF SG / BC BASE COAT. Use KS210 as a ground coat for SG or BC26, Use KS211 as a ground coat under BC25 Black. Follow Tech Manual instructions. Allow flash time on each coat of ground color. NOTE: Sealer is not a cure-all for poor preparation and does not prevent discoloration or bleeding. The main purpose of the sealer is to increase adhesion of topcoats, to make the object one color (nearest to the base for faster coverage), and to improve color holdout.

KBC SHIMRIN KANDY BASE COATS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Kandy Base Coats are a mixture of Kandy and select Pearls into a SHIMRIN Universal Base Coat that mimics a Kandy finish. They feature low build, fewer coats, are easy to apply, and touch ups are easier than ever. Available in the same great 20 colors as our regular Kandys.

WITH THE ADDITION OF KV1 KOSMIC KONVERTOR TO HOUSE OF KOLORS SHIMRIN BASE COATS (SEE TECH SHEET ON KV1 KOSMIC KONVERTOR), YOU ARE CHANGING THE BASE MATERIAL FROM A NON-CATALYZED PRODUCT TO A CATALYZED BASE COAT, THEREBY INCREASING THE SOLIDS CONTENT AND LOWERING THE VOCS. SOME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN PULLING YOUR MASKING TAPE AS TEARING OF THE FINISH IS POSSIBLE. The following KBCs have a tendency to bleed through art work applied over them. Always use our USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear before any artwork is applied. See tech sheet for more information on Intercoat Barrier Klear. A catalyzed clear coat will NOT always prevent their tendency to bleed. Multiple applications of klear may be required. (2 or more) and careful monitoring of dry times reduces pigment migration into the klear coats. The KBC colors that are considered heavy bleeders are: KBC03, KBC05, KBC06, KBC10, and KBC13. KBC18 Kandy Basecoat Pink has limited light fastness and should only be used on projects that have limited exposure to sunlight. Use with discretion. KBC18 is recommended for show vehicles only.

KF SHIMRIN KAMELEON BASE COAT
Kameleon Kolor is a revolutionary new base coat that actually changes color depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Kameleon Kolor undergoes broad color changes, for example, from a medium green to a deep purple or from a bright gold to a luminous silver. The Kameleon Kolor base coat can appear to be different colors to people viewing the exact same area of the car from different angles. Rounded, curved surfaces and sharp angles will highlight the uniqueness of Kameleon Kolor. Kameleon Kolor base coats are as easy to apply as our Shimrin Designer Pearl base coats. Application procedures can vary the appearance of the Kameleon Kolor base coats to give novel color effects.. Kameleon Kolor base coats must be top coated with our urethane clears.

KV1 KOSMIC KONVERTOR
KV1 Kosmic Konvertor is an additive for Shimrin base coats and was developed to effectively lower the VOCs of House of Kolor's Shimrin Base Coats to meet the VOC limits of 3.5 lb / gal voc for SCAQMD Rule 1151 and SJVAQMD Rule 4602 & 4612 Phase II . This is accomplished by using low molecular weight urethane resins and exempt solvents thereby increasing the solids of our Shimrin base coats and lowering the VOC to 3.5 lbs / gal or lower.

AGITATE WELL BEFORE USE Special Note to the Experienced House of Kolor User. The addition of the Kosmic Konvertor to your Shimrins is going to change the way you have worked with Shimrin base coats in the past. Below we have listed some of the more obvious differences. Konverted Shimrins will no longer flash dull. Flash time between coats will now be monitored by feeling a stickiness to the finish. Normal flash time with non-Konverted Shimrins was 15 minutes; it will now be 5 to 7 minutes. The Kosmic Konvertor will add between 1/4 to 1/2 mil of film build to your Shimrin Bases. When doing graphics, some care will be needed when unmasking. You normally reduce your Shimrin at the 2 part base to 1 part reducer and spray 2 to 3 coats for coverage. The Konverted Shimrins will spray as if you increased the reduction to 1 part base to 1 part reducer. This will increase the number of coats from 2 to 3 coats to 3 to 4 coats. You will notice that you will have better control of your metallic and pearls.

USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear is a two-component acrylic urethane base intercoat clear that was designed to offer protection if a light solvent wipe is required, when applied over House of Kolor Shimrin basecoats when used for artistic effects. With the application of 2 medium coats, the USG100 will typically cure in 3 to 4 hours (depending upon shop conditions), and is ready for sanding, tape outs, and the application of artwork and pinstripes. In the event there are errors made such as mis-tapes, or striping mishaps, a light solvent wipe using KCA100 WAX AND GREASE REMOVER ONLY can be done to remove these mistakes without effecting the base coat or previous artwork under the USG100. The USG100 has demonstrated an ability to prevent bleed through with some of our kandy colors.
GENERAL INFORMATION

DO NOT USE USG100 AS A BUILDUP OR TOPCOAT CLEAR, THIS IS AN ACTIVATED BASE COAT MATERIAL! USG100 is designed to protect base coats for artwork, pin striping and tape outs only. DO NOT USE USG100 AS A CARRIER FOR PEARLS, FLAKES, OR KANDY KONCENTRATES. DO NOT USE RU REDUCER AS A SOLVENT WIPE. USE ONLY KCA100 AS A WIPE DOWN AGENT, FOLLOWED WITH KC20 POST SANDING CLEANER AS A FINAL WIPE TO REMOVE ANY SOLVENT RESIDUE LEFT BY THE KCA100. REMEMBER THE KEY WORD IS A LIGHT SOLVENT WIPE DOWN, DO NOT OVER WET THE SURFACE. ON OCCASION, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE IMPRINTING OF THE PIN STRIPE OR GRAPHIC. A LIGHT SCUFFING WITH A SCUFF PAD WILL REMOVE THESE. ALWAYS DO A TEST TO INSURE THE USG100 HAS PROPERLY CURED PRIOR TO DOING A SOLVENT WIPE DOWN WITH KCA100 OVER THE ARTWORK.

GUN SET UP
APPLICATION
Apply 2 medium coats of USG100 Intercoat Barrier Clear at a 50% pattern overlap. Gun distance should be 4 to 6 from object being sprayed. Allow 4 to 6 minutes between coats depending on shop conditions. Use the string test, the finish should feel tacky but not stringing to your finger. Do not allow the USG100 to go out of tack between coats as lifting may occur and ruin all your hard work. DO NOT DRY SPRAY USG100, this will cause possible lifting and the loss of integrity of the finish. NOTE: Do not attempt to improve the flow out of USG100 by applying medium wet or full wet coats or applying more than 2 coats. This will greatly slow down the cure time and its ability to be sanded and taped over within the recommended 3 to 4 hour time period. REMEMBER, This is a catalyzed base coat material designed to be used as a barrier protectant of your base coats and artwork, not as a buildup or top coat clear. Flow out and build is not at issue at this stage of your paint job.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Klear UC35 is a 2.1 VOC clear that meets VOC SCAQMD Rule 1151 and SJVAQMD Rule 4602 & 4612 Phase II compliancy. UC35 may be used to topcoat any urethane enamel finish, including all Shimrin Base Coats. UC35 is medium solids, 30% solids as applied, and has the same application properties of conventional clear coats. UC35 features excellent gloss and D.O.I. (Distinctness Of Image). It has good chemical, fuel and water resistance, and excellent weathering and ultraviolet resistance. UC35 dries fast and hard and may be colored sanded and buffed the next day. NOTE: UC35 IS THE PREFERRED CLEAR FOR USE ON MOTORCYCLES. BECAUSE OF ITS HIGHER ACRYLIC CONTENT, IT IS FASTER CURING, AND ALSO HAS BETTER RESISTANCE TO FUEL SPILLS.

We have designed specific Catalysts and Reducers to work with each of our clears. These Catalysts and Reducers are NOT interchangeable. Use only the Catalyst specified for the specific clear you are using. KU150 and KU151 VOC Exempt Catalyst are moisture sensitive and will not keep for long periods once open. When doing many small jobs, buy smaller containers to prevent spoilage. Keep container tightly sealed. Clean the catalyst container's pour spout by wiping the threads with reducer for easy reopening. Waiting too long between coats can cause re-coat problems. If excessive dry time has elapsed and clear coat feels dry to the touch, allow 12 hours before sanding and re-coating to avoid lifting problems. Over spray from any catalyzed topcoat material (such as our Urethane Kandy Mix, UC35 Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Klear, UFC35 Polyurethane Flo-Klear or UFC19 Urethane Komply Klear II may lift when base coats are applied.

NOTE: Waiting too long between coats can cause re-coat problems. If excessive dry time has elapsed and clear coat feels dry to the touch, allow 12 hours before sanding and re-coating to avoid lifting problems. NOTE: Over spray from any catalyzed topcoat material (such as our Urethane Kandy Mix, UC35 Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Klear, UFC35 Polyurethane Flo-Klear or UFC19 Urethane Komply Klear II may lift when base coats are applied. Mask carefully to prevent this over spray when painting door jambs, etc.
DRY TIME
Air dry at 70 degrees = 24 hours Force dry at 140 degrees = 30 minutes flash time, 2 hours bake, with 1 hour cool down. NOTE: Based upon weather conditions, number of coats, solvent speed, and flash time between coats, etc., it is not unusual for the Klear to remain soft for extended periods of time. This does not mean the finish is uncured; it indicates the finish is holding solvents and will need additional time to fully harden.
COLOR SANDING
IF NOT FLOW COATING, GO TO STEP FINISHING AND POLISHING After clear coats have been cured overnight (12-24 hours), color sand wet (PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR URETHANE CLEARS). Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent to the water and soak the sandpaper for 15-20 minutes. This prevents sandpaper loading. Sand the entire vehicle flat, leaving no glossy spots. Dry as you go, so soap residue doesnt bite the fresh paint. After sanding, wipe the vehicle with a clean rag and water. Wipe dry. Use a tack rag to remove lint before re-coating. (Chemical washes at this stage are not recommended). Use clean rags and KC20 or warm water. NOTE: Avoid touching the vehicle with your bare hands as the oil from your skin may impair flow coats. CAUTION: DO NOT SAND THROUGH THE CLEAR AND RUIN ALL YOUVE DONE. Look for colored water, this will indicate you sanded through the clear

UMC35 KOS-MATTE KLEAR

GENERAL INFORMATION
UMC35 Kos-Matte Klear is used to produce a primer flat finish in any kolor including our kandys to give you the Old Rat Rod look. This klear was formulated specifically not to blotch or streak when applied and is extremely hard to prevent scuffing, marring and scratching. It also has a high level of UV screening agent to prevent graying of the finish over time.

We have designed specific Catalysts and Reducers to work with each of our clears. These Catalysts and Reducers are NOT interchangeable. Use only the Catalyst specified for the specific clear you are using. KU150 and KU151 VOC Exempt Catalyst are moisture sensitive and will not keep for long periods once open. When doing many small jobs, buy smaller containers to prevent spoilage. Keep container tightly sealed. Clean the catalyst container's pour spout by wiping the threads with reducer for easy reopening. Waiting too long between coats can cause re-coat problems. If excessive dry time has elapsed and clear coat feels dry to the touch, allow 12 hours before sanding and re-coating to avoid lifting problems. Over spray from any catalyzed topcoat material (such as our Urethane Kandy Mix, UC35 Kosmic Acrylic Urethane Klear, UFC35 Polyurethane Flo Klear or UFC19 Urethane Komply Klear II may lift when base coats are applied. Mask carefully to prevent this over spray when painting door jambs, etc. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING ANY OF THE DIRECTIONS IN THIS TECH MANUAL, PLEASE CALL OUR TECH SUPPORT LINE AT (800) 844-4130.

GENERAL INFORMATION
SG150 Intercoat Pearl & Flake Karrier is a base coat clear material that is designed specifically to be used as the karrier for Pearls, Flakes, as well as other dry products offered in the House Of Kolor product line. Due to its unique chemistry, it greatly reduces or eliminates the settling of pearls and flakes after the products are mixed. It also encapsulates the pearls and flake particles, so when sprayed, self orientates, locking them in place, greatly reducing blotching and streaking of the finish. Although the material looks semi-opaque in the can, it dries to water clear finish allowing the brilliance of the pearls & flakes to show through.

(APPENDIX "A") Rule 1151 & Rules 4602 & 4612 Phase II DRY TIME
Allow dry time before Kandy or clear is applied (usually about 60 minutes and not longer than 2 hours). Topcoat within 2 hours or apply USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear. FLASH TEST - AT 5 TO 7 MINUTES YOU WILL FEEL THE FINISH TO BE TACKY BUT NOT TRANSFERRING TO YOUR FINGER. DO TEST AT THE TAPE EDGE AS FINGER PRINTING IS POSSIBLE. AT 1 HOUR THE FINISH WILL FEEL DRY TO THE TOUCH. Monitor closely for maximum merging of coats DO NOT TAPE DIRECTLY ONTO THE SG150 BASE. If artwork is planned, apply 1 or 2 medium coats of USG100 Intercoat Barrier Clear. The clear coat will protect the SG150 Base from tape marks and allow cleanup of mistapes. PLEASE REFER TO SANDING GRIT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FINAL SANDING INTERCOAT BARRIER CLEAR. See tech sheet for more information on USG100 Intercoat Barrier Clear. NOTE: DO NOT SAND SG150 / PEARL MIX DIRECTLY. Apply USG100 Intercoat Barrier Clear for base coat protection if sanding is required. If you directly sand the SG150 / Pearl Mix, you must re-base. NOTE: USG100 Intercoat Barrier Clear is designed to protect the base coats for artwork tape-outs and blends only. DO NOT USE USG100 AS A BUILD-UP OR TOPCOAT CLEAR, AS IT IS NOT WEATHER RESISTANT. CAUTION: Shimrin Base coats do not have any chemical resistance until cleared. Final wash solvents will effect base coats. Use KC20 Post Sanding Cleaner for cleanup. SG150 AND ALL SHIMRIN PBC BASES MUST BE CLEAR-COATED. We recommend that you use House of Kolor clears for best results. See appropriate tech sheets for more information on clear coat application

UC25 / KK URETHANE KANDY MIX RATIOS & APPLICATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
UK Kandys currently do not meet the VOC rules as outlined under SCAQMDs Rule 1151 and SJVAQMDs Rules 4602 & 4612 Phase II. Therefore we have developed formulations that duplicate closely our original UK Kandy Kolors as far as color, strength, and performance. Kandys are a major part of Kustom finishing and we believe this will give you the ability to continue to offer your customers the stunning Kandy Finishes you have been able to produce in the past.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO USE OTHER MANUFACTURES PRODUCTS TO PRODUCE THESE KANDY COLORS. FOR THE MOST PART, ONLY HOUSE OF KOLOR'S UC25 HAS THE FLEXIBILITY AND UV PROTECTION NEEDED FOR THE EXTREME FINISHES ASSOCIATED WITH KANDY PAINT JOBS. CRACKING, SPLITTING AND FADING IS A REAL POSSIBILITY WITH OTHER COMPANIES PRODUCTS. The following UC25 / KK Mixes have a tendency to bleed through art work applied over them. Refer to USG100 tech page. A catalyzed clear coat will NOT stop their tendency to bleed. However, if multiple applications of clear (2 or more) and proper flash time between coats is observed, the leaching of color into the clear is reduced, if not eliminated. Do individual testing. The KK products that have a tendency to bleed are: KK03, KK05, KK06, KK10, and KK13. KK18 Kandy Koncentrate Pink has limited light fastness and should only be used on projects that have limited exposure to sunlight. Use with discretion. KK18 is recommended for show vehicles.

APPLICATION
Kosmic Kandys may be applied over any of our SHIMRIN bases or Kosmic Solid Colors. Always spray a test panel before committing to the job. NOTE: KU150 & KU151 Catalyst are moisture sensitive and will not keep for long periods once opened. When doing small jobs, buy smaller containers to prevent spoilage. Keep container tightly sealed. Strain the paint into the paint gun. Apply 5 to 6 coats to achieve proper color. Start with 3 medium wet coats first, with 75% spray overlap. Finish with 2 to 3 full wet coats with 50% spray pattern overlap. Gun distance while spraying should be approximately 6 inches. Walk long objects. Allow flash time between coats. URETHANE FLASH TEST - PAINT SHOULD BE STICKY AND NOT STRING WHEN TOUCHED AT THE WETTEST POINT BEFORE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. NOTE: Too long a dry time between coats may cause lifting. If finish feels dry, allow 12 hours at 70 degrees before re-coating. Scuff with maroon scuff pad to remove gloss or lightly wet sand with 500 or 600 wet. Use caution as too aggressive sanding can cause light and dark spots in the candy. NOTE: Color strength will vary based on base color, number of Kandy coats, type and number of clear coats, and spray technique. LIGHTER BASE COLORS REQUIRE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF KANDY COATS FOR LONGEVITY. A base color tinted near the Kandy color eases application and improves longevity. (CONTINUED)
119
The application of Kandy Type finishes are among the most demanding of all finishes applied. Great attention must be paid in spray gun settings, number of coats and basic spray gun techniques. The following steps, when observed, provide consistent results. Know the equipment Check spray gun pattern, it must be consistent. (See Diagram One) Turn fluid knob in, to restrict trigger pull and reducer amount of Kandy delivered. This must be done for the first two to three coats to avoid streaking. A 75% pattern overlap is mandatory.
KANDY APPLICATION TECHNIQUES

Turn fluid adjustment knob in, to restrict amount of Kandy.
Must deliver even, consistent pattern. (Know pattern width)
Diagram One

Adjust fluid knob for a larger pattern 5-7 apply additional 2 to 3 coats with 50% overlap. Allow each coat to stop stringing before applying next coat. Do not allow coats to completely dry to touch between coats. Apply 2 to 3 coats of UC or UFC urethane top coat clear, allowing Kandy only enough time to stop stringing. Do not allow Kandy to completely dry before clearing or wrinkling and lifting is likely to occur. NOTE: Do not use USG100 Intercoat Barrier Klear. This is a base coat material. Use our Catalyzed UC or UFC Clear only.
CLEAR COATING
All Kandys must be clear coated with either UC35, UFC35 or UFC19 clears. DO NOT Allow the Kandy to go out of tack. Apply the clear as if it were the next coat of Kandy. NOTE: Too long a dry time between coats may cause lifting. If finish feels dry, allow 12 hours at 70 degrees before re-coating. Scuff with maroon scuff pad to remove gloss or lightly wet sand with 500 or 600 wet. Use caution as too aggressive sanding can cause light and dark spots in the candy.
DRY TIME
Air dry at 70 degrees = 24 hours Force dry at 140 degrees = 30 minutes flash time, 2 hours bake, with 1 hour cool down. NOTE: Based upon weather conditions, number of coats, solvent speed, etc. It is not unusual for the Kandy job to remain soft for extended periods of time. This does not mean the finish is uncured, it indicates the finish is holding solvents and will need additional time to fully harden.
FINISHING AND POLISHING
In a 70 degree shop, allow 24 hours for dry time before polishing. See tech sheet for information on Polishing & Finishing.

COMPONENT TECHNICAL DATA
AX01 ACCELERATOR
Accelerator AX01 is a potent curing aid. Use Accelerator to speed dry time in cool shops on parts that must be handled (or sanded for artwork layouts) or re-coated the same day. Accelerator was designed for catalyzed urethanes to speed up cure time. (For more information, refer to the tech data sheet in the main manual) MIXING ACCELERATOR (AX01) Use sparingly, up to 1/8 teaspoon per mixed quart. DO NOT EXCEED 1/8 TEASPOON PER MIXED QUART. Carefully monitor dry time between coats. Accelerator will cause the urethanes to flash between coats much faster and can cause lifting if allowed too much time between coats. Use the touch test: URETHANE FLASH TEST - PAINT SHOULD BE STICKY AND NOT STRING UP ON FINGER AT THE WETTEST POINT, BEFORE NEXT COAT IS APPLIED. ACTUAL VOC INFORMATION: 6.63 lbs/gal (794 g/L)
FA01 FLATTENING AGENT
FA01 Flattening Agent is designed to reduce the gloss of our urethane clears. Flattening Agent will not effect adhesion but will increase hardness. It is great for under carriages, frames and engine parts where high gloss is not desired, but a tough, durable finish is. NOTE: Large amounts of FA01 (8 oz. or more per ready to spray mixed quart) can cause reduction of flexibility, which should be considered before applying to flexible substrates. Do not exceed 16 oz. of FA01 per mixed quart. Adding more Flattening Agent beyond this point will have no effect on further gloss reduction. (For mixing and other information, refer to the tech data sheet in the main manual) ACTUAL VOC INFORMATION: 6.31 lbs/gal (757.0 g/L)
